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

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
  2. If using, stir in chocolate chips or shredded coconut.

  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • 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.
