Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.33 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2.25 cup rolled oats

Add-ins

  • 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup mini M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add peanut butter, honey, vanilla protein powder, rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, and mini M&M’s into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a rubber spatula to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a thick, uniform batter forms, ensuring even distribution of all components.
  3. Form Balls: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop the mixture into even portions and roll each into a ball using your hands for uniform size and shape.
  4. Chill: Place the energy balls on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm to set the shape.
  5. Store: Transfer the chilled energy balls into an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep fresh and firm.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, keep the energy balls refrigerated until ready to eat.
  • You can substitute mini M&M’s with raisins or chopped nuts for a healthier alternative.
  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugars for a cleaner snack.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more oats to help with rolling.
  • These energy balls can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, pre/post-workout snack, or an afternoon energy boost.
