Instructions

First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Then, in a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Set this aside also.
Next, in a pot over medium-low heat, melt together the peanut butter and brown rice syrup, stirring frequently.
Then, once the peanut butter mixture is fully blended, pour it over the oat mixture and stir well. It's pretty sticky so you may want to use your hands with a bit of water on them to prevent sticking.
Next, form into tablespoon-sized balls. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands. Place the balls on the prepared cookie sheet.
Leave them at room temperature for 15 minutes to harden.

Notes

Expert Tip

Brown rice syrup is an excellent binder because it is super sticky. To keep your hands from sticking while mixing and rolling out the balls, dampen them slightly with a bit of water. This will prevent sticking and make these much easier to prepare.
