1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
1 cup creamy natural peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for rolling)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (omit if nut butter is salted)

1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Add rolled oats, protein powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Fold in chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles.
4. Refrigerate dough for 20-30 minutes.
5. Scoop dough with a tablespoon or cookie scoop and roll into balls.
6. Roll balls in extra sprinkles if desired.

Notes
Store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
Use rolled oats, not instant oats, for the best texture.
If dough is too dry, add more honey or a splash of milk. If too wet, add extra oats or protein powder.
For nut-free, swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
