Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole rolled oats provides a hearty base and is a great source of fiber
  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter adds healthy fats and a deliciously creamy texture
  • ½ cup ground flaxseed packed with omega-3 fatty acids
  • ½ cup honey a natural sweetener that also helps hold everything together
  • 2 scoops protein powder (½ cup), preferably unflavored for a plant-based boost
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds a lovely flavor
  • 6 tablespoons mini chocolate chips optional, for a touch of chocolate

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the whole rolled oats, creamy natural peanut butter, ground flaxseed, honey, protein powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Using a spatula, mix the ingredients together until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more honey or a splash of water.
  3. Once the mixture is combined, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Continue until all the mixture is used.
  5. Place the rolled protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Notes

  • Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
  • If too sticky, chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
