Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
1/4 cup chia seeds or flax seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips or shredded coconut
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
If using, stir in chocolate chips or shredded coconut.
Mix until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water or nut butter. If it’s too wet, add a tablespoon of oats or protein powder.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
These balls are great for meal prep and can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.
Feel free to experiment with different nut butters and protein powder flavors.
For a different texture, you can pulse some of the oats in a food processor before mixing.
