Ingredients that You’ll Need
To create these scrumptious chocolate protein balls, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your pick!)
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (because, why not?)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (because we need extra chocolate, right?)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt to keep it all in check
Instructions to Make Magic Happen
Now, let’s roll into the easy-peasy instructions!
- In a bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), protein powder, dark chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Get your hands in there (wash them first!) and mix until well combined. This should be a workout all on its own!
- Once it’s mixed well, it should look like a chocolatey gooey mess (the best kind!).
- Now, the fun part: take small scoops of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but remember: bigger means more chocolate-filled smiles!
- Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help them set. If you can resist the temptation to snack on them in the meantime, of course!
- Once they’re set, store these beauties in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to a week—if they last that long!
And voila! You’ve got yourself a batch of tasty Chocolate Protein Balls that are perfect for a quick snack or a guilt-free treat after a workout. Enjoy your newfound culinary masterpiece and share those sweet little bites with friends (or keep them all to yourself, we won’t judge!).
