Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond butter (sub another nut or seed butter if preferred)
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate protein powder
• 3 tablespoons agave or maple syrup
• 2-6 tablespoons non-dairy milk, such as soy or almond
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Crushed candy canes (optional for decoration)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond butter, vegan chocolate protein powder, agave, 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk, and the peppermint extract. Stir to combine. Some protein powders are more absorbent than others, so add more non-dairy milk as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach a stiff and slightly sticky dough.
2. Using your hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough to make all the protein balls. Chill the balls in an air-tight container in the fridge until firm. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
3. Optionally you can sprinkle or roll the balls in crushed candy canes for garnish if desired. Note that the candy canes will melt if left on the balls overnight, so do this just before serving.
