Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups traditional oats
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (heated)
  • 1/3 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gather 2 cups of oats, 1/2 cup of warmed peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Optionally add chia seeds or mini chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  2. Mix Until Blended: Thoroughly mix all the ingredients until evenly combined, ensuring the oats, chips, and walnuts are distributed uniformly throughout the peanut butter and honey mixture.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour or overnight to let it firm up, which will make rolling the mixture into balls easier and help them hold together better.
  4. Form Protein Balls: After chilling, use your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, making sure each ball is compact and cohesive.
  5. Prepare for Storage: Place the rolled protein balls onto parchment paper to avoid sticking and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Heating the peanut butter slightly makes it easier to mix.
  • Chilling overnight improves the texture and firmness of the protein balls.
  • Optional add-ins like chia seeds or mini chocolate chips can enhance flavor and texture.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit walnuts.
