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 ingredients: Add the no stir creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini dark chocolate chips to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly combine the mixture until a uniform batter forms.
  2. Form balls: Using a mini cookie scoop or a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Aim for roughly 1 inch sized portions.
  3. Shape balls: Roll each scoop of batter between your hands to form smooth, round balls.
  4. Chill to set: Place the cookie sheet with the shaped protein balls into the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or until the balls have hardened and hold their shape.
  5. Store: Transfer the hardened energy bites to a sealed Ziploc bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for 2 to 3 months for long-term storage.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and ease of mixing.
  • Mini chocolate chips add sweetness and texture but can be omitted or substituted with nuts or dried fruit if preferred.
  • Ensure balls are tightly rolled so they hold together after chilling.
  • Store protein balls chilled to keep fresh and maintain firmness.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free if using certified gluten-free oats.
