Description
No‑bake, peanut‑butter packed protein bites with a hint of chocolate — easy to whip up and perfect for a quick protein boost.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups old‑fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (ideally just peanuts + salt)
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan tweak)
- ½ cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder (your choice)
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed (optional for fibre & texture)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the peanut butter, honey (or syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mix and stir until well combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using clean hands or a cookie‑scoop (≈ 2 Tbsp size), form the mixture into bite‑sized balls. Place them on a parchment‑lined tray or plate.
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) until they firm up. For quicker setting, you can freeze them for 10‑15 minutes.
- Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy as a snack or post‑workout bite.
