1½ cups old-fashioned oats
¾ cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
½ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup mini M&M’s (or chopped M&M’s)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, for added fiber)
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate; optional)

Pinch of salt (especially if your peanut butter is unsalted)

- Flaxseed and protein powder (if using)
Stir until smooth and well blended.

2. Add the Good Stuff

Fold in:

3. Chill

Refrigerate the mixture for 15–20 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.

Add a dash of cinnamon for a cozy flavor boost.
