Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup of oats
- 1/2 cup of peanut butter
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of chocolate protein powder, and 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate protein powder. Use a spatula or spoon to mix them together until well combined.
- Add the chocolate chips to the mixture and fold them in gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Once the mixture is well combined and holds together, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. This should yield approximately 12 bites.
- Place the formed protein bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a plate.
- Once all the bites are formed, you can place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up, though this step is optional.
- After chilling, your Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and better texture.
- For a smoother consistency, slightly warm the peanut butter and honey before mixing.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more honey; if too wet, sprinkle in extra oats.
- Experiment with different protein powder flavors to create unique variations.
- Roll the bites between slightly damp hands to prevent sticking and achieve a smoother surface.
- For added nutrition, consider mixing in chia seeds or chopped nuts.
- These protein bites can be frozen for up to a month, making them a great make-ahead snack.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform-sized bites if you want a more professional look.
