Instructions
Balls
Place oats, peanut butter, honey/maple syrup, coconut oil, protein powder, cocoa powder in your food processor/blender. Blend until combined. You will need to add coconut milk 1 tbsp at a time, to get a smooth, pliable dough.
Taste and adjust for sweetness. Form into 12 even sized balls. Place on a parchment/foil lined tray and place in the fridge for an hour or in your freezer for 20 minutes or so, until firm.
Chocolate glaze
Combine the chocolate and coconut milk in a double boiler over gentle heat until chocolate has melted and is smooth. You can melt these together in the microwave too, 30 second bursts.
Dip each ball into the chocolate, sprinkle some crushed peanuts ( if you like) and return to the fridge or freezer until set. You will have some leftover glaze.
Protein powder
Place all the ingredients except for chia seeds in your coffee grinder and blend till you get a coarse powder. Add the chia seeds and pulse it 3-4 times to break it down coarsely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
