Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • Pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, coconut flour, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all the dry components.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients come together in a slightly sticky and cohesive mixture.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking the chips.
  4. Form the Balls: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 12-15 equal-sized balls. This helps ensure uniform size and portion control.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the formed balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up for easier handling and optimal texture.

Notes

  • For a nuttier texture, lightly toast the rolled oats before mixing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, adjust the maple syrup quantity accordingly.
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • These protein balls are vegan and gluten-free if using gluten-free oats and certified vegan protein powder.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.
