Instructions
- Stir oats, peanut butter, strawberry preserves, honey, protein powder, flaxseed, and vanilla until a thick, cohesive mixture forms.
- Chill the mixture for 30 minutes so it firms enough to shape.
- Scoop 18 portions. Flatten each portion, add about 1/2 teaspoon preserves in the center, fold the mixture around it, and roll into a ball.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in short microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip or drizzle each ball with chocolate and place on parchment. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
- Chill for 30 minutes, until the coating is set.
