Ingredients

Servings:
16
200g natural peanut butter or almond butter
2 scoops vanilla or chocolate protein powder (about 60g)
80g rolled oats
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp dark chocolate chips (70%+)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt

Method

1

Combine peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until smooth.

2

Add protein powder, oats, and chia seeds. Mix thoroughly — it will be quite stiff.

3

Fold in chocolate chips.

4

Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes. Cold dough is much easier to roll.

5

Roll into balls about 30g each (a small ice cream scoop is helpful). You should get around 16.

6

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days, or freeze for 3 months.

💡 Chef's Tips

If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tbsp more honey or a splash of milk. If too wet, add more oats. Protein powder absorbency varies by brand.
