Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsweetened peanut butter powder
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened protein powder
  • 1/8 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp Water (plus more as needed)
  • 2 tbsp Wholesome Yum Zero Sugar Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter powder, protein powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Add water and sweetener. Mix in the water and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency similar to play dough. If too dry, add additional water 1-3 teaspoons at a time; if too wet, add more peanut butter powder gradually.
  3. Incorporate oats and chocolate chips. Add the rolled oats and sugar-free dark chocolate chips to the mixture. Press and fold with a spatula until the mixture is uniform in texture.
  4. Shape into balls. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on the baking sheet.
  5. Chill or serve. Enjoy the oatmeal protein balls immediately, or for a firmer texture, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust water quantity carefully to get the perfect dough consistency.
  • Using sugar-free chocolate chips keeps the snack low in sugar.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • These protein balls make great pre- or post-workout snacks.
  • Can be customized by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruit as desired.
