Add 1 cup of quick oats to a blender and quickly pulse.

In a bowl combine pulsed oats, additional ½ cup of oats, peanut butter, honey, and protein powder using a paddle mixer or a large spoon.

Once formed into a large single lump you are done mixing.

Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to evenly portion your balls (or eyeball it). Roll together using both hands. Add to a pan iced with parchment paper. Repeat until all dough is used.

Let cool in fridge for 30 minutes.

Once chilled, add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, intermittently stirring.

Add pretzels to blender and quickly pulse. Pour pieces on a plate.

Dip protein balls in melted chocolate and immediately roll in pretzel pieces.

Once complete return protein balls to fridge to harden.

Enjoy!
