Servings: 16 balls
Calories: 93kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter or any nut butter will work!
- ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp maple syrup increase to 2 tbsp if you want it to be sweeter
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, maple syrup, vanilla, salt (and protein powder, if using) until combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Taking small handfuls of the mixture, roll them into small balls 1-2 inches in size. Or you can use a cookie scoop. Place them onto the baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the bites for 30 minutes or until solid. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge (they will last at least 1 week, and likely 2!)
Notes
- Use The Right Tools: Use a cookie scoop to get all of the balls the same size.
- Check The Oats: If you or someone in your family is gluten intolerant, be sure to use gluten-free oats.
- Involve The Kiddos: This is such a great no bake recipe for kids to make – get them in the kitchen!
- Adjust For Moisture: If the dough seems too wet to mold into balls, consider adding a tablespoon or two of almond flour.
- Sugar Free: If you want to make these truly sugar-free, you can omit the maple syrup, and they will still taste pretty good.
- Peanut-Free: Use your favorite alternative nut butter or seed-based butter.
- Nutritional information includes protein powder. Note: for even more protein, use 1 scoop of vegan vanilla protein powder and 1 scoop of peanut butter protein powder.
