Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, instant coffee, chopped almonds, and salt. Blend thoroughly.
  2. Stir in almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix well for about 2-3 minutes until a sticky mixture forms.
  3. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into compact balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to two months.
