Description

These Best Protein Balls Without Oats are a quick and easy no-bake snack packed with protein and flavor. Perfect for a healthy energy boost, they combine creamy peanut butter, protein powder, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup, enhanced by cinnamon and vanilla. With a fine almond flour texture and mini chocolate chips for a delightful bite, these protein balls are ideal for on-the-go snacking or post-workout refueling.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (preferably creamy for smooth consistency)
  • 1 cup protein powder
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, almond flour, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Using a spatula or your hands, mix all ingredients together until you achieve a consistent dough-like texture. Make sure the mixture is evenly combined without any dry spots.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture to ensure each ball gets some chocolate goodness.
  4. Form Balls: Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form smooth, compact balls.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the protein balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any nut butter of your choice.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, add a little extra maple syrup or a splash of almond milk to help bind it.
  • Use mini chocolate chips as they help the balls hold together better and distribute chocolate evenly.
  • These protein balls can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
  • For a nut-free version, consider using sunflower seed butter and a nut-free protein powder.
