👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
-
2
Add the natural creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
-
3
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Initially, the mixture may seem crumbly, but continue to mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a thick, uniform dough forms that holds together when pressed. If too dry, add 1 tsp more peanut butter; if too wet, add 1 tbsp more oats.
-
4
Take small portions (about 1-2 tablespoons) of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth, uniform balls. Place the finished balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
5
Transfer the plate or baking sheet with the protein balls to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy!
-
6
Store leftover protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
💡 Notes
For variations, try adding mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or a pinch of cinnamon. For a vegan option, ensure you use plant-based protein powder and maple syrup. Adjust sweetness to your preference. These make excellent pre or post-workout snacks!
