👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, rolled oats, and protein powder. Mix well with a sturdy spatula.
-
2
Pour in the honey (or maple syrup). Continue to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and a thick, cohesive dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the mixture.
-
3
If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon more peanut butter or honey. If it's too wet and sticky, add a tablespoon more oats or protein powder until it reaches a firm, rollable consistency.
-
4
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form smooth, compact balls.
-
5
Place the finished energy balls on a plate or in an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. This also helps the flavors meld.
💡 Notes
Store leftover energy protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2-3 months. For variations, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a pinch of cinnamon, or rolling them in shredded coconut.
