Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy no stir peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl to prepare the base of your energy balls.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a rubber spatula to mix it all together until a thick batter forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare Cookie Sheet: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking when forming the balls.
  4. Portion Mixture: Use a mini cookie scoop or spoon to drop balls of the mixture onto the wax paper in even sizes.
  5. Shape Balls: Roll each portion in your hands to smooth out the edges and form compact energy balls.
  6. Chill: Place the energy balls in the fridge for around an hour, or until firm to help them set properly.
  7. Store: Keep the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness (see notes).

Notes

  • Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage up to one month.
  • You can substitute mini M&M’s with other colorful candy pieces or dried fruit if preferred.
  • If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more oats to help firm it up.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar and ensure the protein powder is plant-based.
