Instructions

Mix. Add the peanut butter, sweetener, oil, vanilla, and salt to a medium bowl, and stir well to combine. Add the oats, coconut, protein powder, and golden flaxseed meal, and stir well. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. (TIP: At this point, the mixture will have the texture of cookie dough. You can eat it now if you like edible protein cookie dough.)
Scoop. Use a 1.5-tablespoon scoop to measure out the mixture and roll each into a ball. Arrange the balls in an airtight container layered between pieces of wax paper.
Set. Chill at least 15 minutes before eating so they can firm up. (TIP: Their texture hardens the longer these are in the fridge.)

Notes

Salt: If your peanut butter is salted but not sweetened, hold off on adding extra salt until the mixture is made, then taste it and add salt if desired.
Recipe Yield and Serving Size: This recipe makes 9 (1.5-tablespoon) balls and each serving is 1 ball.
