They’re chewy, sweet, and packed with goodness – perfect for after-school, post-workout, or just a little pick-me-up during the day.

Method

Make the Oat Flour

The first thing you’ll want to do is prepare your oat flour. Don’t worry it’s super simple and only takes a minute. Measure out ¾ cup of whole rolled oats and pour them into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the oats turn into a fine, powdery flour. You can stop and scrape down the sides if needed to make sure everything is evenly ground. This fresh oat flour adds a soft, slightly nutty base to your bliss balls and helps everything stick together beautifully.

Mix It All Together

Now it’s time to bring everything to life! In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add your freshly made oat flour, ½ cup of peanut butter, ⅓ cup of whole rolled oats, ¼ cup of maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder. Finally, take your favorite snack bar (something chewy and naturally sweet like a @bitesbylex bar works perfectly), chop it into small pieces, and toss that in as well. Use a spatula or spoon to mix it all thoroughly. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture forms a thick, dough-like consistency that holds together well. If it’s too sticky or dry, don’t worry there are some quick fixes coming up!

Roll Into Balls

Once your mixture is ready, it’s time for the fun part rolling! Using clean hands, scoop out a small amount of dough and gently roll it into a ball between your palms. Aim for about the size of a ping pong ball, but feel free to make them smaller or larger based on your preference. If you find the dough too sticky to handle, pop the bowl in the fridge for about 5 minutes to firm it up a bit. Alternatively, lightly oil or dampen your hands to make rolling easier. Continue until all the dough is used up.

Add Toppings (Optional)

If you’re someone who loves that sweet-and-salty combo, this step is for you. After the balls are rolled, you can sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top of each one. It’s optional, but that little bit of salt really brings out the flavors and adds a fun, tasty twist to each bite.

Store & Enjoy

Finally, transfer your bliss balls into an airtight container. They should be stored in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm. However, when it’s time to eat, try letting them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. The peanut butter softens slightly, making the texture extra chewy and delicious. These little bites stay good in the fridge for up to a week if they last that long!

Necessary Tools

• A blender or food processor (for the oat flour)
• A medium mixing bowl
• A spoon or spatula
