Description

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls are a delicious and healthy no-bake snack made with oats, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, and honey. Perfect for a quick energy boost, they combine creamy peanut butter with rich chocolate flavor in a convenient bite-sized treat.

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 (preferably heaping 1/2 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons water (plus extra if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized bowl. Use a wooden spoon, large spoon, or spatula to thoroughly mix everything together. If the mixture feels too dry, add an additional teaspoon or two of water to help the dough come together.
  2. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1 to 1 ½ inch sized balls by scooping and shaping with your hands to create uniform protein balls.
  3. Chill: Place the rolled balls on a small baking sheet or a large plate lined with wax paper to avoid sticking. Chill them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up.
  4. Store: After chilling, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep fresh and ready for snacking.
  5. Enjoy and Share: Enjoy your healthy protein snack! If you loved this recipe, consider leaving a rating and comment on saltandbaker.com to share your experience.

Notes

  • You can adjust the water quantity slightly to get the right dough consistency.
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to one week in the fridge or longer in the freezer.
  • Feel free to substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Ensure your protein powder is chocolate flavored to maintain the intended taste profile.
