Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, raisins, protein powder, almond butter, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined to form a consistent mixture.
- Shape Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, evenly sized balls to ensure uniform baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
