Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (heaping)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons water (plus extra if needed)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all of the dry and wet ingredients to a medium sized bowl. Use a wooden spoon, large spoon, or spatula to thoroughly mix everything together until evenly combined. If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add an additional teaspoon or two of water to help form a cohesive dough.
- Form Balls: Scoop about 1 to 1 ½ inch portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to create smooth, round balls.
- Chill: Place the rolled balls on a small baking sheet or large plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let them firm up.
- Store: After chilling, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer preservation.
Notes
- Serving size can be adjusted depending on how large or small you make the balls.
- For a firmer texture, chill the balls longer before serving.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
- Keep the balls refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.
