Peanut butter protein balls

Step by Step

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, add peanut butter, honey (if using), water, flaxseed (if using), oats, protein powder and salt. Stir well and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Add chocolate chips and mix with hands or spatula.

Step 3

Before rolling into balls, scoop a bit of mixture and see if it’s rolling nicely. Add a bit of water or oats if necessary. Using small scoop, pack it tightly with mixture and roll. With plant-based version, I just release the scoop without rolling.

Tips and Warnings

Store: Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Freeze: Up to 3 months in an airtight container.
Make sure your peanut butter is runny: I recommend to melt it on the stovetop or in a microwave. If you skip this step, your protein balls might not turn out.
Don’t skip dough chilling: If you don’t refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes before rolling it into balls, you will have a hard time rolling them.
