Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups no stir creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 1/3 cups old fashioned oats (rolled oats)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the no stir creamy peanut butter, honey, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, salt, and mini dark chocolate chips to a mixing bowl and use a rubber spatula to mix until the batter is fully combined and uniform.
- Portion Mixture: Use a mini cookie scoop or a spoon to drop energy balls onto a wax paper–lined cookie sheet. Each ball should be about 1 inch in size for easy snacking.
- Shape Balls: Roll the scooped mixture with your hands to form smooth, round balls to ensure they hold together well.

- Store properly to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
- Protein powder flavor can be varied (chocolate or unflavored) according to preference.
