Notes

Rolled oats : You can swap this with oat flour. You can then mix everything up in a mixing bowl with a spatula.

Flax seeds substitute : Swap this with chia seeds if desired or use an equal amount of rolled oats.

Honey substitute : Substitute this with maple syrup or agave to make this recipe vegan.

Storing : Place the protein balls in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 10 days in the fridge and 5 days out on the counter.
