Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter) Choose based on texture preference.
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup Can customize with other sweeteners.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (or your preferred protein powder) Feel free to experiment with different protein powders.
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional) For added sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds or chia seeds (for added nutrition) Either work well for nutrition.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt Enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and flaxseeds. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  2. Add the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture starts to come together.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
  4. Once combined, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly or refrigerate the mixture for about 15 minutes to make rolling easier.
  5. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  7. Enjoy or store them for later!

Notes

Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week, or freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying. Don’t skip the resting period in the fridge to help the balls hold their shape better.
