Peanut Butter Protein Balls

GOOD EATS

If you are a nutty person, and have a sweet tooth... this recipe is for you. Get rid of those late night cravings with these peanut butter protein balls. Great if you are cutting or bulking (you just have to change up the ingredients a bit). Try it out.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (optional: low calorie peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional: zero calorie/zero sugar syrup)
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavored)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, chopped nuts or seeds, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  2. Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly to make it easier to roll.
  3. Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  4. Once the balls are firm, you can transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week.
