Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups no stir creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/3 cups old fashioned oats, rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the no stir creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini dark chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to mix all the ingredients together until the batter is well combined and cohesive.
  2. Form Balls: Using a mini cookie scoop or a spoon, drop the mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Aim for about 1 inch in diameter for each energy ball.
  3. Roll to Shape: Gently roll each dropped mixture between your hands to form smooth, compact balls.
  4. Chill: Place the cookie sheet with formed energy balls into the refrigerator for 1 hour or until the balls have hardened and set properly.
  5. Store: Transfer the hardened energy balls into a ziplock bag or airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for 2-3 months for longer preservation.

Notes

  • You can substitute the mini chocolate chips with dried fruit or nuts for variation.
  • Make sure to press the balls firmly while rolling to help them hold their shape better.
  • If the mixture feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before forming the balls.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you want this recipe to be gluten-free.
  • For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
