Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup protein powder, vanilla or chocolate
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2–4 tablespoons milk, as needed
½ cup mini dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shredded coconut, optional

Directions

1. Combine the Dry Ingredients

Add the rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl.

Stir until evenly combined.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients

Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Mix thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms.

3. Adjust the Texture

If the mixture seems too dry or crumbly, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition.

The mixture should hold together when pressed.

4. Add Chocolate

Fold in the mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut if using.

5. Shape the Bites

Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time.

Roll between your palms to form small balls.

Place them on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.

6. Chill

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.

Once chilled, they’re ready to enjoy.

Recipe Tips

Natural peanut butter can work, but make sure it’s well stirred before measuring.
Use your favorite protein powder; different brands absorb liquid differently.
Add a little more oats if the mixture is too sticky.
Add a little extra milk if it’s too dry.
For more crunch, mix in chopped almonds or peanuts.
Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
They can also be frozen for longer storage.
