Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or clean hands until a uniform dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add one teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together.
  3. Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Place the finished peanut butter protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up before serving.
  6. Store the finished energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a lower sugar option, use a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey.
  • If you want a chocolate peanut butter protein balls flavor, use chocolate protein powder.
  • These protein bites without baking keep well for up to one week in the refrigerator.
