Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup peanut butter powder
- ½ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- ¾ cup quick oats
Add-ins
- ⅓ cup mini M&M’s or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even base for the energy balls.
- Add Dry Powders: Stir in the peanut butter powder and protein powder into the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly to create a thick, consistent batter that will hold shape when rolled.
- Incorporate Oats and Chocolate: Gently fold in the quick oats and mini M&M’s or chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture without crushing them.
- Form Energy Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 18 equal-sized balls. Make sure each ball is compact to avoid crumbling.
- Chill to Set: Place the energy balls on a tray or plate and chill them in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This step helps them firm up and enhances the texture for eating.
Notes
- Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, substitute the honey with maple syrup and use vegan chocolate chips.
- You can swap peanut butter powder with almond or another nut butter powder for a different flavor.
- Protein powder can be whey, plant-based, or any preferred type.
- If you want a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter and peanut butter powder with sunflower seed butter and powder.
