High Protein No Bake PB Balls
These High-Protein Peanut Butter No-Bake Balls are packed with protein and healthy fats. These taste similar to PB cookie dough but are much more wholesome. They are ideal for a post-workout pick-me-up, a quick breakfast on the go, or a healthy dessert.
Ingredients
Makes about 10 servings. Prep time <5 minutes
½ cup honey
½ cup peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup peanut butter powder
½ cup whey protein powder (vanilla)
¾ cup quick oats
⅓ cup mini dark chocolate chips
Cooking Instructions
Add the wet ingredients—honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract—to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
Mix on low-medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients—peanut butter powder, protein powder, and quick oats—to the wet mixture.
Continue to mix on low speed until a thick dough forms. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the mini dark chocolate chips by hand with a spatula.
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls or use a small cookie scoop to make to form balls.
For best results, place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Store the finished protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in freezer bags for 3 months.
Meal Prep Serving instructions
