Ingredients

12 teaspoons (or 24 packets) stevia 1/3 cup almond or soy milk (regular milk is fine, but stats are with almond/soy) 2 tablespoons butter (stats are with light with canola oil) 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder Pinch of salt 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (stats are with Vega Choc-a-lot) 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (stats are with jif natural) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups quick oats

Instructions

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, add the stevia, milk, butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring to a boil and allow to a boil for one minute, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter, protein powder, and vanilla until well mixed. Stir in oats.

Gently roll (without packing tightly) into golf-ball sizes and drop onto waxed paper. (Or plop down without rolling for a more ‘haystack’ look.) Allow to set up for 15 minutes. Coat with additional cocoa powder, Whey Low Powdered, finely chopped nuts (almond flour works great for this) or leave plain.

Store in an airtight container.
