Healthy PB Balls provide energy balls with sustained energy and simple ingredients ideal portable fuel for busy days Proteinpacked bites for nourishment
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed or chia seeds
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2–3 tablespoons water or dairy-free milk (as needed)
Optional add-ins: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for warmth
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
Add the oats, ground flaxseed (or chia), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture comes together into a thick, cohesive dough. If you’re using protein powder, add it now and mix well.
Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional add-ins you love. The dough should look cohesive and feel slightly tacky between your fingers.
If the dough feels dry, drizzle in 1–2 tablespoons of water or milk and mix until you can form a ball. If it’s too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes to help it firm up.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms into a smooth ball. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat until you’ve used all the dough.
Chill the balls in the fridge for at least 20–30 minutes to set. They’ll be perfect for grabbing on the go, with a gentle bite and a soft center.
