Ingredients

3/4 cup rolled oats
3 tbsp vanilla or chocolate protein powder
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
3 tbsp honey sub maple syrup
1/4 cup crushed gluten free pretzels

Instructions

Whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup and protein powder until smooth
Add gluten free pretzels to a bag and crush them up into tiny pieces
Add the crushed gluten free pretzels and oats into the peanut butter mixture. Keep folding until well combined
Roll into 1 inch sized bites and store in a sealed container. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden up and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute the protein powder for oat flour
If you are using plain protein powder, I would recommend adding a splash of vanilla extract
If you are using unsalted pretzels, I would recommend adding a pinch of salt (you can also use regular pretzels but gluten free has a nice crunch)
You can substitute the peanut butter with the nut or seed butter of your choosing
