Ingredients
- 1 cup drippy all-natural peanut butter we use Trader Joe’s Brand or Good and Gather
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder we used Garden of Life*
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup mini m&ms
- Optional: 1–4 teaspoons water*
Instructions
- Place peanut butter, protein powder, rolled oats, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, salt, mini chocolate chips and m&ms into a medium bowl.
- Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the dough together. At this point, you’ll begin to add water by the teaspoon.
- Depending on how drippy your peanut butter is, you’ll need to add more or less water. The water not only helps moisten things so your balls hold shape, but they actually help your balls become less chalky.
- Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your palms. Roll into balls until all dough is gone. You should get somewhere between 14-16 balls.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Tips & Notes
- Be sure you use drippy peanut butter or the consistency will be off.
- We used our favorite monster cookie ingredients but feel free to add raisins or coconut flakes as well.
- If your balls aren’t holding together or are too chalking add more water but only a little bit at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- The nutrition for this recipe depends on the protein powder you used.
