Ingredients

1 cup dry (420g cooked weight) Oats — The base and the binder, bringing beta-glucan fibre that a shop-bought bar rarely does.
2 scoops (60g) Whey Protein — What takes each ball to a useful protein number rather than a sweet oat lump.
1/2 cup (120g) Peanut Butter — The glue, and most of the fat and flavour.
3 tbsp (60g) Honey — The other half of the glue. Without it the mix will not hold.

If it crumbles, add a splash of milk; if it smears, add more oats.
Roll into balls and refrigerate for an hour to firm up. They keep a week.
