Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a uniform, sticky dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 12 to 15 balls.
Place the protein balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help them firm up before serving.
Notes
Store these protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a different flavor, substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
These are great for pre workout snack ideas or as a healthy, guilt free dessert bites.
