Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini M&M’s

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy no stir peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. This ensures everything will mix evenly without missing any components.
  2. Mix Batter: Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together until a thick, cohesive batter forms. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold shape but not too wet.
  3. Prepare Tray: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking when shaping the balls.
  4. Form Balls: Use a mini cookie scoop or drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the wax paper, which helps create uniform sized energy balls.
  5. Roll & Shape: Roll each dropped portion between your hands to smooth out the edges and create round balls for a polished appearance.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the energy balls in the refrigerator for around an hour. Chilling firms them up so they hold their shape during storage and eating.
  7. Store Properly: Keep the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and texture (see notes for storage advice).

Notes

  • Storing the energy balls in the refrigerator keeps them firm up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze the energy balls for up to three months and thaw before eating.
  • You can swap mini M&M’s for dried fruit or nuts for a different flavor or to reduce sugar.
  • Using creamy peanut butter allows easier mixing and smoother texture.
