Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Natural, drippy kind recommended.
- 1/4 cup Honey Can substitute with maple syrup or agave.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats Quick oats can be used but will alter texture.
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder Can be omitted or replaced with extra oats.
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup M&M’s Or similar colorful candy-coated chocolates.
- 1/4 cup Crushed Pretzels Finely crushed for best texture.
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until just warm, then stir together until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
- Add the old-fashioned oats and vanilla protein powder to the bowl. Mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly coated—no dry pockets!
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, M&M’s, and crushed pretzels. Mix gently but thoroughly to evenly distribute all the fun, colorful bits.
- If the mixture feels sticky, place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place each protein bite on a lined baking sheet or plate.
- Once all the bites are rolled, store in an airtight container. Enjoy immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
