5-Ingredient PROTEIN Balls/Bars

5-Ingredient PROTEIN Balls/Bars

Yield: Makes about 29 balls or squares (57–62 grams each).
Protein Content: Approximately 8 grams per ball/bar.

  • 320 grams Instant Rolled Oats (3 cups)
  • 200 grams Vanilla Protein Powder (2 cups) I used Orgain plant based, vanilla bean 
    In a large mixing bowl, mix oats and protein powder until evenly combined

  • 572 grams Peanut Butter (2 cups)
  • 158 grams Honey (½ cup)

    (Double HONEY to make it less dry)

    In a microwave-safe bowl, heat peanut butter and honey for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until smooth.
    Pour the melted peanut butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until combined.

  • 380 grams Chocolate Chips (2 cups)
    Stir in the chocolate chips.

  • ½–1 cup Water (as needed, for consistency)
    If the mixture is too dry, gradually add water (start with ½ cup) until the dough is slightly wet and holds its shape when rolled.

SHAPING OPTIONS:

1️⃣ Balls: Use a scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into 25–30 balls, each weighing 57–62 grams.

2️⃣ Bars: Pour the mixture onto a flat surface, cover it with plastic wrap, and use a rolling pin to flatten it into an even square, about 1 inch thick. Cut one piece and weigh it to around 57 grams, then eyeball and cut the rest into similarly sized pieces.

STORAGE:

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days.

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
