Ingredients

1/2 cup + 3 Tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
1/3 cup almond butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 Tablespoons hemp seeds
1 Tablespoon chia seeds
pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix ingredients in a food processor: In a food processor pulse all of the ingredients together until combined. The mixture should be able to hold when squeezed together. Add additional maple syrup if more moisture is needed.
Form into balls: Use a small cookie scoop to measure the mixture or make them about 2 Tablespoons in size. Squeeze the mixture together then use your hands to roll them into smooth balls. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or in an airtight container and refrigerate for 30+ minutes before enjoying.
Keep the protein balls stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Notes

If you don't have a food processor - you'll need a blender to chop the oats into small pieces. Then mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until combined using a rubber spatula - this might take a little bit more effort if your almond butter isn't super creamy.
