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 1/2 cup preferred)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons water (plus 1-2 teaspoons additional if needed)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl. Use a wooden spoon, large spoon, or spatula to mix everything together. If the mixture feels too dry, add an additional teaspoon or two of water to help the dough come together.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into balls approximately 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter. Adjust the size based on your preference for bite-sized or larger snack balls.
- Chill: Place the balls on a small baking sheet or a large plate lined with wax paper. Put the plate in the refrigerator and chill the balls for about 20 minutes to firm up.
- Store and Serve: After chilling, transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Serving size depends on the size of the balls you make; feel free to make them smaller for bite-sized snacks or larger for more substantial treats.
- Storing in the freezer can prolong shelf life and maintain freshness.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey to taste.
