Place oats, tahini, 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.
Hi! Who knew tahini could be so good! Can you please provide the measurement of your ‘small cookie scoop’? I’d like to know, as you provided nutrition info, but no specific measurement for a ‘ball’. Thanks!
Hi, Shannon! I’m so glad you’re loving these cookies. Thanks for coming to leave a review and star rating, it means the world to me! A typical small cookie scoop is about 2 teaspoons. I hope that helps!
My first time making protein balls. I really, really like these! Never thought of tahini and had a jar in the fridge. Was a little dry, so added some water. Made a couple substitutes based on what was in the cupboards: chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla. Didn’t have chocolate chips, so I added finely chopped dates, and mixed chia seeds in for half. These are going to be a game changer for workday snacks!
I have tried your other power ball recipes and this one came out very dry. So I didn’t waste the ingredients I added an additional cup of peanut butter to make them better. I’ll go back to your chocolate peanut butter ones which are STELLAR!

So glad you were able to make this recipe work! You can always add a splash of milk if they turn out too dry in the future. 🙂
So excited to find this recipe! Tahini is a fun twist on my favorite almond butter recipe!
It’s so good!! Let me know if you try it and what you think. 🙂
The first time I used Tahini in recipe. They turned out great and are highly addictive.
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Maren! Thanks for trying it out and coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
