3. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough is smooth and rolls easily without cracking or sticking.
4. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the dough.

Notes
Use certified gluten free oats if you need this recipe to be gluten free.
For dairy free bites, choose a plant based protein powder and dairy free mini chocolate chips.
If the dough is too sticky, add a spoonful of oat flour. If it is too dry or crumbly, add a splash of milk or an extra drizzle of honey until it comes together.
Store the protein cookie dough bites in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months for easy grab and go snacks.
