Description

Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup Peanut Butter (smooth or chunky, as you like)
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup Ground Flax Seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Honey

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the peanut butter, chocolate chips, rolled oats, ground flax seeds, and honey until well combined.
  2. Chill Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This makes the mixture easier to handle and shape.
  3. Form the Balls: After the mixture has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 12 even-sized balls.
  4. Refrigerate Again: Place the formed balls on a tray or in a container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until they are firm.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the protein balls as a healthy snack, a quick breakfast option, or an energizing treat.

Notes

  • Chilling the mixture twice helps to achieve the perfect texture for shaping.
  • Use smooth or chunky peanut butter based on your texture preference.
