Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 3/4 cup oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Wet Ingredients: Combine the natural peanut butter and honey or maple syrup in a large bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy, ensuring the sweetener fully blends into the peanut butter for consistent flavor throughout.
  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Fold in the protein powder, oats, and chia seeds or flaxseeds to the wet mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined and forms a slightly sticky dough.
  3. Incorporate Extras: Gently mix in dark chocolate chips or any nuts if using, making sure they are evenly distributed in the dough.
  4. Shape the Bites: Scoop out small portions with a spoon or hands and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up, resulting in a chewy and easy-to-eat texture.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter with no added sugars or oils for the healthiest option.
  • Add honey or maple syrup gradually to adjust sweetness to your preference.
  • Stir ingredients just until combined to keep bites tender and not tough.
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized bites that set well in the fridge.
  • Store in airtight containers to keep fresh, especially when adding nuts or chocolate.
