These peanut butter protein balls are so easy to make and perfect for a post workout snack or mid day pick me up! With 7 grams of protein per serving and just a few pantry staple ingredients, this is the perfect healthy snack.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients aside from the chocolate chips.
Mix with a rubber spatula until well combined. Because of the nature of peanut butter, it can take a few minutes to really get it well mixed up, but if you need to use your (clean) hands, don't hesitate!
If the dough seems too dry, add in a bit more maple syrup or even a splash of milk or extra peanut butter to soften it a bit. On the other hand, if the mixture is too wet, add in a bit of extra oats.
Add in the chocolate chips and mix together until combined.
Use a cookie scoop or a regular spoon and roll into balls with about 1 1/2 tbsp of "dough." Use your hands to kind of smoosh the ingredients together and then roll into a ball in the palm of your hand.
Place in the fridge to set for about an hour. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use chunky nut butter if you like, I just prefer creamy!
