Instructions
  1. Start by peeling and placing 2 ripe bananas in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are smooth and free of lumps, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, honey, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon, and chia seeds to the mashed bananas. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together.
  3. Continue stirring the mixture until all ingredients are well combined into a thick paste.
  4. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Place each rolled ball on the parchment-lined surface.
  6. Refrigerate the tray of banana protein balls for at least 2 hours to firm them up.
