Monster Cookie Protein Balls
These easy monster cookie protein balls are made with peanut butter, oats, protein powder, chocolate chips and M&M’s for a fun, no bake snack that’s perfect for meal prep.
Servings: 24 balls
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup drippy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 scoops (50-60g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 3 Tablespoons mini M&M’s
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl.
- 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.
Notes
- Texture will vary by protein powder: Every brand absorbs liquid differently. If your dough feels dry, add a splash of milk. If it feels too soft, add a little extra oat flour until it firms up.
- Storage: Keep these protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
