Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy no stir peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, ensuring everything is measured accurately to maintain the right consistency and flavor balance.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a rubber spatula to mix all the ingredients together until a thick, uniform batter forms with all components evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare Surface: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking and make the energy balls easy to transfer and store.
  4. Form Balls: Use a mini cookie scoop or spoon to drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the wax paper for consistent sizes, making portion control easier.
  5. Shape Balls: Roll each drop in your hands to smooth out the edges and create nicely shaped, compact energy balls.
  6. Chill: Place the energy balls in the refrigerator for around an hour or until firm, allowing them to set properly for the best texture.
  7. Store: Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and prolong shelf life.

Notes

  • For firmer energy balls, freeze them for 15-30 minutes before serving.
  • These energy balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to one month.
  • Feel free to substitute mini M&M’s with raisins or chopped nuts for a different twist.
  • If the batter is too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of oats to help with rolling.
