Ingredients
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
- Combine Ingredients: Add the no stir creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini chocolate chips to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix everything until the batter is well combined and uniform.
- Portion the Mixture: Use a mini cookie scoop or a spoon to drop the mixture onto a wax paper-covered cookie sheet. Aim for about 1 inch-sized portions to keep the energy balls bite-sized and consistent.
- Shape the Energy Balls: Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth, round balls, ensuring they hold together well.
- Chill to Set: Place the cookie sheet with the shaped energy balls in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This chilling step helps the balls harden and maintain their shape.
- Store Properly: After chilling, transfer the protein balls to a ziplock bag or airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for 2 to 3 months for longer shelf life.

- For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or seeds.
- Keep the mixture chilled if it becomes too sticky to handle.
- Adjust the protein powder flavor according to your preference, vanilla works well here but chocolate or unflavored could be alternatives.
