How to Make Them Step by Step
1. Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Protein
Mix in the protein powder and cocoa powder. The mixture will begin to thicken—this is exactly what you want.
3. Add Oats and Adjust Texture
Stir in the oats and a pinch of salt. If the mixture feels too dry or stiff, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it becomes easy to roll.
4. Roll into Balls
Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
5. Chill to Set
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they’re ready to eat.
Storage and Serving Ideas
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week
Freeze for longer storage—just thaw for a few minutes before eating
Enjoy with coffee, after workouts, or as a healthy dessert
