Description
These peanut butter protein balls are a dependable refrigerator staple. Simple ingredients, no baking, and just enough substance to make them satisfying without feeling heavy. I like adding coconut, pumpkin seeds, and a touch of vanilla protein powder for texture and staying power while keeping the base recipe classic.
Ingredients
-
1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
½ cup mini chocolate chips
-
½ cup ground flaxseed
-
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
-
¼ cup raw sprouted pumpkin seeds
-
½ scoop vanilla protein powder
-
4 tablespoons honey
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, protein powder, and honey.
-
Stir until fully combined and the mixture holds together evenly.
-
Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up the mixture.
-
Roll into about 18 bite-sized balls.
-
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
- If the mixture feels too dry, add an additional tablespoon of peanut butter.
- If it feels too soft, add a tablespoon of oats and chill a few minutes longer.
- These freeze well and are easy to grab straight from the freezer for busy days.
