Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water or milk (if needed for consistency)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds (if using), shredded coconut (if using), dark chocolate chips (or cacao nibs), and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Use a spatula to mix the ingredients together. If the mixture seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk, a little at a time, until it holds together.
Once the mixture is well combined and sticky, use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out small amounts of the mixture. Roll them between your hands to form bite-sized balls.
Place the protein balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Store the protein snacks in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months).
