Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened peanut butter powder
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened protein powder
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats
- 1/4 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp Water (plus more as needed)
- 2 tbsp Wholesome Yum Zero Sugar Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the unsweetened peanut butter powder, protein powder, and sea salt until evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the water and sugar-free maple syrup gradually until the mixture forms a dough-like texture similar to play dough. Adjust by adding more water if too dry or more peanut butter powder if too wet.
- Incorporate Oats and Chocolate Chips: Add the rolled oats and sugar-free dark chocolate chips to the mixture. Use a spatula to press and mix everything uniformly until well combined.
- Shape the Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the lined sheet.
- Chill and Serve: Enjoy immediately for a softer texture, or refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to achieve a firmer consistency.
Notes
- Adjust water carefully to get the perfect dough consistency; add 1-3 teaspoons at a time.
- These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
- Use sugar-free syrup and chocolate chips to keep this recipe low sugar.
- These are naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
