Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Add the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mix.
  3. Mix into dough: Stir everything together until a thick, sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, incorporate a bit more honey or a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Shape the balls: Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
  6. Refrigerate: Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup to taste.
  • If texture is too crumbly, add a little more peanut butter or a splash of milk.
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For variety, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or seeds.
