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)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 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 evenly blended.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the peanut butter and honey to the dry mix, stirring thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
- Fold in raspberries and nuts: Gently fold in the raspberries and chopped nuts if using, taking care not to crush the berries.
- Form balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, using your hands. Ensure they hold together well.
- Chill to set: Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Store properly: Once set, store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries depending on availability; if using frozen, thaw slightly before mixing.
- Chopped nuts are optional but add extra crunch and nutrition.
- These protein balls can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and ensure protein powder is plant-based.
- If mixture is too sticky, add a bit more oats or shredded coconut to firm it up.
