Description
Does anyone not like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate? These chocolate peanut butter protein balls are a fan-favorite!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 scoops (64 grams) chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem too thick at first, but it will come together as you keep mixing. I used my hands to knead the dough near the end and that seems to help.
- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form the dough into balls.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge or freezer.

Can you use something else besides the protein powder?
This recipe is made to use protein powder, I do have a recipe for no bake energy balls without protein powder though!
Thank you for this recipe. I’m always looking for more healthy treats for me and my husband. He’s not a big peanut butter fan, but he loved these. So yummy!!

I’ve made several of your energy ball recipes and really like all of them, but these are my husband’s favorite, hands down. Probably will keep a good supply handy in our fridge in the coming months, staying healthy while beating the pandemic blues. Smooches to you and your beautiful family.

Loved these. I am going to try the tahini ones next thought I’ve never had it before.
★★★★
how many balls does the reciepe make? As you’ve said one serving is 114 cals, but not sure how big a ball that would be.
Thanks
Hey Tamara – It says 24 balls, which will of course depend on how big you make them. 🙂
OhDear – I only ever seem to get about 12 balls – and they aren’t that big !
Oh no! Are you changing anything about the recipe?
These were delicious. My sister and I went thru these soo fast. Making a second batch today!

I made these with Chocolate Vegan protein and maple syrup (because my honey was too crystallized) and my husband and I can’t stop eating them. Thank you for the recipe.

Woot woot!! So glad these protein balls were a hit, Diane. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I appreciate it!
Could I use pea protein instead of chocolate protein powder? Would it still be as good?
Is the pea protein sweetened or just plain? If it’s plain, I don’t think they would be as yummy!
I love the idea of adding protein powder!
I was wondering if I could use fig paste instead of honey?
I’ve made the almond joy and peanut butter and chocolate balls. And have fallen in love with all of your recipes I’ve made. Thanks
Ahh yay that makes me so happy to hear!!
Hey Ali – I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure that would work just fine! Let me know if you end up trying it! 🙂
Made these for the third time today! They are a great healthy pre/post workout snack or after dinner treat. I added some extra chocolate chips, I think next time I might use minis so they are more evenly distributed.

Hi how much is a cup measurement in the chocolate chip peanut butter protein balls please
Hey Zara – It depends on how big you make the protein balls. You could probably fit 3-4 balls in one cup.
I made these last night so that I could have one before my workout today. They are absolutely delicious!! I’ll try the Cinnamon Raison Cookie ones next time.

Yay! I’m so glad that you loved them, Sonya. This is my favorite flavor too, but the cinnamon raisin cookie protein balls are amazing too! Can’t wait for you to try them. And thank you so much for coming back to comment and leave a star rating. The feedback and ratings are super helpful!
I tried the chocolate peanut butter balls and they were great. I am looking forward to trying a different recipe the the next time I make them.

Hey Alin, I’m so glad you liked them. Thank you for sharing and for coming back to leave a comment (and star rating). I so appreciate it!
Made these and had one after my workout just now. Yummy! They were a little on the dry side, and I did knead them at the end to get them to come together. Of course, it’s very dry here, so that might be some of the problem…but still very yummy. 🙂

Hi Michelle. Glad you like them. And yes, sometimes they can turn out a little dry. It mainly depends on how runny your peanut butter is. If you make them again and they seem dry, you can add a splash of almond milk or water. Just start really small (like 1 -2 teaspoons) because you don’t want them to be too wet.
These look amazing! Unfortunately I can’t have honey, so I was wondering if these could be made with maple syrup instead?
Maple syrup instead of honey should work just fine. Honey is a bit stickier, but they should still hold together. Let me know if you try it with the maple, Ashley!
