Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter stirred and at room temperature
  • 0.33 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
  • 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon milk optional, add only if mixture feels dry

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, stir peanut butter and honey until smooth and well combined.
  • Add vanilla and salt; mix to incorporate.
  • Add oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until a thick dough forms.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips. If the mixture seems crumbly, add up to 2 teaspoons milk, 0.5 teaspoon at a time, just until it holds when pressed.
  • Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats and seeds to hydrate.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon per bite and roll into balls. Chill for 20 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. For nut-free bites, use sunflower seed butter and omit chocolate or use allergy-friendly chips. Add cinnamon or a pinch of espresso powder for a flavor twist.
