Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 cup Protein Powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats
  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the protein powder, rolled oats, and cocoa powder until evenly blended to ensure the chocolate and protein are well distributed.
  2. Add Peanut Butter and Sweeteners: Stir in the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. The mixture should start to stick together but remain pliable enough to form into balls.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly spread but not melted.
  4. Shape the Bites: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the formed bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and blend the flavors. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy or store.

Notes

  • Measure precisely using a kitchen scale or measuring cups for consistent bite sizes.
  • Warm peanut butter slightly to soften it for easier mixing and better binding.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by starting with less honey or syrup and adding more if needed.
  • Roll the bites quickly as the mixture can firm up fast.
  • Store in airtight containers to keep fresh and prevent drying out.
