Ingredients
Chocolate Peanut Butter
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 scoops (about 50–60 grams) chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Almond Joy
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup natural almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 scoops (about 50–60 grams) chocolate protein powder
- 1–2 Tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Cinnamon Raisin Cookie
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 scoops (about 50–60 grams) vanilla protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Tahini Chocolate Chip
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 scoops (about 50–60 grams) vanilla protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Chocolate Peanut Butter
- 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.
Almond Joy
- Place oats, almond butter, honey, protein powder and shredded coconut 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.
Cinnamon Raisin Cookie
- Place oats, cashew butter, honey, protein powder, raisins and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Getting the mixture to combine takes a little arm muscle and it may seem a little crumbly 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.
Tahini Chocolate Chip
- Place oats, tahini, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Equipment
Notes
- If the protein ball mixture seems a little too dry or crumbly, add water or almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the mixture forms together.

I have made the chocolate PB balls several times, and I love them! I use whey protein powder and it works well. Thanks for a great recipe!!
★★★★★
So glad you’re loving these, Anna!! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
The ratios are way off for this recipe. I converted to grams and the mixture was waaaaaay too dry and resembled sand. I took 1/3 of the oats out and doubled the peanut butter and it was still really dry.
★
Hey Carrie – So sorry to hear that. I’ve made this recipe hundreds of times with no issues. Something probably happened in converting the recipe to grams. Did you change anything about the recipe? Also, what type of peanut butter did you use? If the peanut butter is dry it will cause the balls to turn out dry and crumbly. You can always add a splash of water if yours turn out too dry to help the ingredients stick together.
I’ve tried so many different recipes and these are now the only ones I make! I love the peanut butter ones!
★★★★★
Woo!! The pb ones are my fave too. So glad you’re loving these, Lisa. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
Thank you for all these wonderful recipes! So much inspiration and flavor! I can’t wait to try them, I start tomorrow 🙂
Definitely come back and let me know what you think of the recipes you try!!
Thanks for this recipe. I have been looking for one that makes a larger quantity as I love to freeze them so I always have them ready To go. Easy and delicious
★★★★★
Yay!! So glad you’re loving this recipe, Judith. Thanks for the review. I appreciate it!
Can these be made and then frozen? I’m prepping for the birth of my second baby and looking for freezer friendly options. Thank you!
Totally! Just package them up and freeze them for up to 3 months. Take them out of the freezer and place in the fridge the night before you want to enjoy them.
I am diabetic, so this would’t work for me. Too may carbs.
I’d like to fid a healthy, crunchy
Made the chocolate peanut butter balls with Earthli vegan protein! SOO good! I have made other protein balls before and I found Earthli’s chocolate protein works the best for me!
Thanks for the recipe

Woo!! So glad you loved them. Thanks for the review, I so appreciate it!
Easy, delicious! Used 2 scoops of Primal Kitchen vanilla coconut collagen fuel and added cocoa powder & chocolate chips to up the chocolate factor since I didn’t have chocolate protein powder.
★★★★★
So glad you loved this recipe. Thanks for the review, Christine. I so appreciate it!
Hi I’m trying to figure out the exact protein I am getting from these.. I wanna try the chocolate peanut butter and my protein powder alone is 20g.. so what is the accurate way to calculate ?
Hey Megan – I use My Fitness Pal for calculating nutrition!
No bake make sure the protein balls do not loose any nutrition value , loved the recipe.

Love them! Just made the peanut butter chocolate one and added some sliced almonds – makes for a nice crunch. I plan to eat these for my breakfast with a banana but could totally seeing these also working as an evening snack/“dessert”! Will make again!

Very good loved them

Question about the amount of protein powder in your recipes. You usually reference one scoop or two scoops, etc.; however, the scoops are not the same size from one powder to the next…even in the same brand from flavor to flavor. Can you be more specific in actual measurement?
What size scoop to use is an excellent question I never thought of asking. My Huel protein powder scoop is 1/3 cup. These would have been so dry! Thanks.
One serving size of protein powder is usually either 1 or 2 scoops which is around 25 grams or 3-4 Tablespoons. Hopefully that helps!
Only ever tried and enjoyed the chocolate chip and peanut butter so far, and have to say they are really wonderful out on a long cycle ride, stored in sealable plastic carry bags. (3-4 in each). I find I am now providing half my work force with them or even imparting the recipe over to them to try. Looking forward to trying one or two of the other recipes, but if anything like the first. Stumbled upon a secret energy supply that actually works and tastes great. Thank you.

Ahh I’m so glad these protein balls have been a hit with everyone, Paul! That makes me so happy to hear. 🙂
hi
could you give the ingredients weights in grams if possible?
Hey Sharleen – You can use this gram converter to figure out the weight in grams.
Super unhappy to see these came up in a search for “vegan” protein balls… also to see that you have a “V” rating. I’m assuming it is intended to mean vegan? Which these are not. These could easily be made vegan if you are handy around the kitchen
Hey Rhonda – These balls can easily be made vegan by swapping the honey for maple syrup, which I noted in the blog post. I also just added it to the recipe card.
Great recipe, super easy! I do not own a food processor so i appreciate that this recipe doesnt require it!
★★★★★
Do you have nutrition values for all recipes protein muscle bites?
★★★★★
Yes! They’re all pretty similar, but you can find the nutritional info for each one here: tahini chocolate chip, cinnamon raisin and almond joy.
Have made these so many times and they come out great! My favorite are the almond joy & chocolate peanut butter. They aren’t super crumbly or dry, which is my biggest pet peeve in energy/protein balls I’ve tried in the past! They’re perfect as a meal addition or quick snack on-the-go!
Yum! Just made the oatmeal raisim variation. Changed the recipe slightly for what I had on hand subbing almond butter for cashew butter. Used only 1 scoop of protein powder because my scooper seemed large. I heated up the ingredients before stirring for about 15 seconds in the microwave to make it easier to mix together since the almond butter was thick.
★★★★
Very tasty. I did peanut butter ones but with vanilla protein powder (only one I have atm) still really good
★★★★★
Glad you enjoyed these protein balls, Kat! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. 🙂
These recipes are so easy to whip up and they are so filling! I typically have all of the ingredients on hand in my pantry and if I’m out of something there are lots of options to substitute. I typically add in some ground flax seed and/or chia seeds for an extra boost – bc why not!? I’ve made 3 of 4 of the options, still need to try the Tahini & chocolate.
★★★★★
These were good. I used chunky natural peanut butter and maple syrup instead of honey. I added superfoods chia seeds and cacao powder. I had to add about 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk so it would be less crumbly.
Delicious, thank you for the recipe.
★★★★★
So glad you enjoyed these protein balls, Veronica! The chunky pb probably contributed to them being a bit crumbly, but I’m glad you were able to make them work! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, I so appreciate it. 🙂
