Instructions:
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Make sure everything is distributed evenly.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the honey or maple syrup and add the nut butter. Mix well until everything starts to stick together. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more nut butter or honey until you can easily form balls.
Form Balls: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. The size of each ball should be about the size of a walnut.
Chill: Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set and firm up.
Store: Keep your protein energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for about a week.
