Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter briefly to soften. Stir in molasses and honey until smooth.

  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

For an extra crunch, toss in 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans before shaping the snacks, or roll the balls in shredded coconut for added texture.
