Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Binders and Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and shredded coconut until well blended.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the peanut butter and honey to the dry mix, stirring until the mixture is thoroughly combined and sticky enough to hold together.
- Fold in raspberries and nuts: Gently fold in the raspberries and chopped nuts if you’re using them, taking care not to crush the berries too much.
- Form balls: Roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter using your hands.
- Chill: Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set.
- Store: Keep the protein balls stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter or cashew butter for peanut butter to vary the flavor.
- If you use frozen raspberries, thaw them slightly and drain excess moisture before mixing.
- These protein balls are great for meal prep and make a perfect grab-and-go snack.
- For a nut-free version, omit the chopped nuts or replace with seeds like chia or sunflower seeds.
