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. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter powder, protein powder, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the water and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture develops the consistency of play dough. If too dry, add water gradually, 1-3 teaspoons at a time. If too wet, add more peanut butter powder to balance the texture.
  3. Combine Oats and Chocolate Chips: Add the rolled oats and sugar-free dark chocolate chips to the bowl. Press and mix the mixture well with a spatula until uniform throughout.
  4. Shape the Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll each into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Chill or Serve: Enjoy the oatmeal protein balls immediately for a soft texture, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer bite.

Notes

  • Adjust the water quantity carefully to achieve the right dough consistency.
  • Refrigeration firms the balls but is optional.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free snack.
  • These balls keep well refrigerated for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in cinnamon or vanilla extract.
