Shop Key Ingredients
To get the perfect texture and flavor every time, here are a few of my favorite pantry staples you can grab on Amazon:
- Premium Whey or Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
- Organic Creamy Peanut Butter (no added sugar)
- Organic Rolled Oats (Gluten-Free certified)
- Pure Raw Honey or Grade A Maple Syrup
- Dark Chocolate Baking Chips (70% Cacao)
Full Recipe Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Rolled oats
- ½ cup Protein powder (Vanilla or Chocolate)
- ½ cup Creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ⅓ cup Honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup Mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1–2 tbsp Water or almond milk (if the mixture is too dry)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the peanut butter and honey to the dry mixture. Use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon to fold everything together until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. If the dough feels too crumbly to hold its shape, add water or almond milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a "play-dough" consistency.
- Scoop out about one tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Enjoy these immediately, or store them in the fridge for up to a week for the perfect grab-and-go snack!
