These no-bake protein balls combine creamy peanut butter, chocolate, and protein powder for a quick, satisfying energy boost. Perfect for on-the-go snacking with a chewy texture and a hint of indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) natural peanut butter, creamy or chunky
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, old-fashioned
  • 2–3 tablespoons (60–90 ml) honey
  • 1/3 cup (40g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (45g) mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients: peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, protein powder, vanilla extract, salt, and chocolate chips.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-blended, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add rolled oats, protein powder, and salt. Fold together with a spatula until thick and sticky. If too dry, add honey by half-teaspoon increments until mixture holds.
  4. Gently fold in mini dark chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Form mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls using hands or a small scoop, yielding about 12-15 balls. Wet hands slightly if mixture sticks.
  6. Place balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils for best flavor. Fold chocolate chips gently to avoid melting. Wet hands slightly when rolling to prevent sticking. Adjust honey or peanut butter if mixture is too dry or wet. Can freeze for up to three months. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave and use plant-based protein powder. Use gluten-free oats for gluten-free option.
