Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (low-fat or PB2)
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons Water (if using PB2)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat peanut butter or PB2 with water if using, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract.
Pour the honey over the mixture and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the protein balls to set and become firm.
Once firm, store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
