BEST Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Say hello to your new go-to protein balls that are oh-so chewy, moist, and made witha handful of real, wholesome ingredients you can feel good about enjoying! Ready in just 30 minutes, they’re perfect for breakfast on the run, a post workout pick-me-up, or anytime you need a little treat without the guilt.
Servings: 10 protein balls (or 8 without chocolate chips)
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup egg whites I use Eggland’s Best Egg Whites
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Let stand for 3 minutes to give time for oats to absorb liquid.
- Roll 2 tablespoon balls (using a cookie scoop if possible) and drop on a parchment-lined baking sheet, at least 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until just set with light golden edges. Let cool for 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely – or enjoying!

Notes
- If using natural peanut butter, make sure to stir it well before using.
- These are fine at room temp for up to 8 hours (think snack at work!), but after that, store in the fridge for up to a week (or freeze!).
