Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups Rolled oats
- 2 Scoops Whey Protein Powder
- 1/3 Cup Mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- ½ Cup Natural peanut butter
- ¼ Cup Honey
- 2-3 Tablespoons Water
Instructions
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Place the 2 scoops of whey protein powder, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup natural peanut butter, and ¼ cup honey into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Into Dough: Stir the ingredients together to combine. If the mixture feels dry, gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of water—one teaspoon at a time—until a stiff dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
- Final Mix: Mix the dough again to evenly distribute the chocolate chips and ensure a uniform texture.
- Form Balls: Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, take pieces of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Continue rolling the remaining dough into balls.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Adjust water quantity carefully to avoid making the dough too sticky.
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars or oils.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, substitute whey protein with a plant-based protein powder and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Mini chocolate chips add sweetness but can be omitted or replaced with dried fruit for variation.
