Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, protein powder, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until a sticky mixture forms.
  2. If the mixture feels too dry, add almond milk gradually until a workable texture is achieved.
  3. Gently fold in mini dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up the balls.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
