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. Combine Ingredients: Add the no stir creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini dark chocolate chips to a mixing bowl and use a rubber spatula to mix until the batter is thoroughly combined.
  2. Form Balls: Use a mini cookie scoop or a spoon to drop the mixture onto a wax paper-covered cookie sheet, aiming for about 1 inch in size.
  3. Shape: Roll the dropped mixture with your hands to form round energy balls.
  4. Chill: Place the cookie sheet with the shaped balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until the balls are firm and hardened.
  5. Store: Transfer the protein balls to a ziploc bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for 2-3 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned oats for best texture; quick oats can make the balls too soft.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if desired.
  • Adjust the amount of honey if you prefer sweeter or less sweet bites.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Freezing the balls allows you to have ready-to-eat snacks on hand for longer periods.
