# Guide to Cooking:

In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds until evenly distributed.
02 -
Add peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
03 -
Use a spoon or spatula to mix the dough until fully combined, ensuring it is thick and slightly sticky.
04 -
Gently fold in the raspberry jam, taking care not to overmix to maintain pockets of jam within the dough.

Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.

Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture. Adjust maple syrup to preferred sweetness. Store in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week. Alternative jams like strawberry or grape work well.
