Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the old-fashioned rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir together until well combined.
  2. Introduce the creamy natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and stir until a thick dough forms, taking about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the raspberry jam, maintaining some pockets for bursts of sweetness.
  4. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball, repeating until all dough is shaped into balls on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the protein balls.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
