Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups no stir creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Use a rubber spatula to mix all the ingredients together until the batter is well combined and consistent.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Form Balls: Use a mini cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons in size) or a spoon to scoop portions of the batter onto the lined baking sheet.
- Shape Protein Balls: Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth, round balls.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet with the protein balls in the refrigerator for up to an hour, or until the balls are firm to the touch.
- Storage: Store the chocolate protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for 1-2 months for longer storage.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, chill the balls longer or freeze before serving.
- You can substitute other nut butters such as almond or cashew for peanut butter.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey to taste.
- Mini chocolate chips can be replaced with dark chocolate chunks or omitted to reduce sugar content.
- These no-bake protein balls are great for on-the-go snacks and energy boosts.
