Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • plate or tray
  • Plastic wrap or lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 1/4 cups rolled oats and 1/2 cup protein powder until evenly mixed.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add 3/4 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup; microwave briefly until the peanut butter softens and the mixture is pourable, about 20–30 seconds, stirring once.
  • Pour the peanut butter and maple syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined and a sticky dough forms.
  • Using clean hands, scoop and roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a lined plate or tray.
  • Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Keep refrigerated for best texture.
  • Press tightly when rolling to help them hold together.
  • Use a scoop for uniform-sized balls.
  • Swap peanut butter for another nut butter if desired.
  • Let cool slightly if the peanut butter is very hot before handling.
