If you are a salted caramel type of person I have the perfect recipe for you! These are sweet, packed with protein and only require ingredients you probably already have around your house!
Start by blending your oats until a flour forms (about 30 seconds). Then add in all of your ingredients (oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, cream cheese, milk, protein powder, salt) and mix until dough forms. Place the dough in the freezer while you make your caramel.
To make the optional caramel: start by heating sugar on medium heat on the stove. Stir often and heat until it is completely melted. Then add in your butter and stir until that is completely melted. Then slowly stir in your cream. Take it off the heat and enjoy!
Once caramel is done, roll your dough into balls and top with a spoon full of caramel. Keep in refrigerator and enjoy!
