Print Recipe

Quick and satisfying no-bake snack bites combining peanut butter, chocolate, oats, and protein powder for a high-protein energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, ground flaxseed (if using), and sea salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  3. Add peanut butter and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips and chia seeds if desired, stirring gently to avoid melting the chips.
  5. Shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using hands or a small cookie scoop. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Chill the bites in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for best texture. Chill bites to help them firm up and hold shape. Adjust honey or add a splash of almond milk if mixture is too crumbly. Avoid over-stirring or heating peanut butter to prevent oily texture. For chewier bites, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
