Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups no stir creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/3 cups old fashioned oats (rolled oats)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the no stir creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to mix all ingredients together until the batter is well combined.
  2. Form the balls: Using a mini cookie scoop or a spoon, drop the mixture onto a wax paper-covered cookie sheet in roughly 1-inch-sized portions. Then roll each portion with your hands to form energy balls.
  3. Chill the protein balls: Place the cookie sheet with the energy balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the balls are firm and hardened.
  4. Store properly: Transfer the hardened protein balls to a ziplock bag. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for 2-3 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Feel free to explore different protein powder flavors; vanilla or chocolate works great, or a mix of both.
  • This recipe makes about 26 protein balls.
  • Old fashioned oats and rolled oats are the same and best suited for this recipe for texture and consistency.
  • Keep the protein balls refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness and firmness.
  • Try variations by adding dried fruits, nuts, or different chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
