Servings: 6 balls
Calories: 122kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup crunchy natural peanut butter
- 1 scoop PEScience gourmet vanilla protein powder
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1/4 cup water
Topping
- 1/2-1 cup melted chocolate wafers
- sprinkles or nuts
Instructions
- Add the oats, peanut butter, protein powder, honey and water to a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Keep mixing, it will come together.
- Form into 6 equal balls rolling with your hands (wet hands helps keep them from sticking). I like using a 1.5 Tbsp cookie scoop. Flash freeze for 10 minutes to harden.
- If coating in chocolate add ½ cup of chocolate wafers to a bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Roll the balls in the chocolate and top with sprinkles or nuts.
Notes
- These are delicious on their own or topped in chocolate. Nutritional information is without chocolate coating but it will not add a significant amount to the nutritional value as you won’t use the full ½ cup, we just want to have excess to make rolling easy.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
- Use natural peanut butter - the oil helps bind everything together and keeps it from getting too dry.
