Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine natural peanut butter and honey (or your chosen sweetener). Stir until smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture to help the mixture bind later on.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Sprinkle in protein powder, rolled oats, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly so the dry ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a thick, slightly sticky dough.
  3. Fold in chips and nuts: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts, distributing them evenly to add texture and bursts of flavor in every bite.
  4. Shape the bites: Using a tablespoon or your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls. If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before rolling to make handling easier.
  5. Chill and set: Place the formed protein bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, ensuring they hold their shape well.

Notes

  • Use chilled peanut butter to improve texture and handling.
  • Adjust sweetness carefully, starting with less sweetener and adding more as needed.
  • Vanilla or chocolate-flavored protein powders enhance flavor naturally.
  • Double the recipe to have snacks ready for the week.
  • Customize texture by varying oat coarseness or adding seeds for extra crunch.
