Scale

Primary 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. Combine Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients until a well-combined batter forms.
  2. Form Balls: Use a mini cookie scoop or spoon to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Each ball should measure about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Shape: Gently roll each scoop of mixture with your hands to form smooth, round energy balls.
  4. Chill: Place the cookie sheet with the shaped energy bites into the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until they have hardened.
  5. Store: Transfer the firm energy balls into a Ziploc bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for 2 to 3 months for extended freshness.
  6. Enjoy: These protein balls are an ideal grab-and-go snack to keep you energized throughout the day.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, refrigerate longer before storing.
  • Feel free to substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for different flavor profiles.
  • You can use any flavor protein powder, but vanilla complements the ingredients best.
  • Mini chocolate chips can be replaced with chopped dark chocolate or cacao nibs for a less sweet option.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
