Notes
- Use whatever type of nut butter you have on hand.
- You just need the oats, nut butter, honey, and salt in this recipe. Swap out or omit additional ingredients to use what you have. You may need to add more oats so it's not too sticky if you don't add additional ingredients.
- You may need to take half of the dough out and mix ½ at a time so it all gets chopped and mixed up. Stop and stir as often as needed.
- You can also freeze these protein energy balls for a couple months.
