Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt.
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix everything together until a thick, sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or a splash of milk.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls using your hands.
  6. Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For variation, try different nut butters or add chopped nuts.
  • These balls make great post-workout snacks or quick energy boosters.
