Easy Peanut Butter Protein Energy Balls


  • Author: Laura

Description

These delicious energy balls made with powdered peanut butter are a great recipe to add to your meal prep routine. Featuring chocolate chips, maple syrup, oatmeal, and peanut butter (as the star of the show), this recipe will bring an additional dose of protein to day.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 78 g. (3/4 C.) powdered peanut butter
  • 20 g. collagen peptides (or your favorite protein powder)
  • a dash of salt
  • 1/4 C. water
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 28 g. (2 Tbsp.) chocolate chips
  • 90 g. (1 2/3 C.) rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Add the peanut butter powder, collagen peptides, and salt to a bowl. Mix together well.
  2. Add the water, creating a creamy peanut butter base.
  3. Stir in the maple syrup and mix in well.
  4. Add the oatmeal and combine well.
  5. Add the chocolate chips, and mix until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  6. Form eight equal sized balls, and roll each between the palms of your hands to create a uniform texture.

Notes

  • Weighing the powdered peanut butter is important as I found a traditional measuring cup produced variations in amount (which affected the final consistency)
  • If the protein ball dough is too sticky, you can add a dusting of peanut butter powder until a non-sticky consistency is achieved.
