What ingredients do I need to make these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls?
- Old fashioned rolled oats– you can use gluten-free oats, if desired.
- Peanut butter or peanut butter powder mixed with hot water – I like to use Better N’ Peanut Butter. It’s only 100 calories per serving! Or you can use PBFit powdered peanut butter.
- Honey – you could also use maple syrup if desired
- Chocolate protein powder– any chocolate protein powder will work. I like to use Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter or Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder. You can get 10% off with discount code: pounddropper. You can find it HERE online.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder– for more intense chocolate flavor.
- Sugar free chocolate chips– I like to use Choczero, Lily’s, or Hersheys’ sugar free chocolate chips
- Milk-if needed.
How do I make these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls?
Combine oats, melted peanut butter, honey, protein powder and cocoa powder in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Use your hands knead the mixture until well combined. If needed, add a teaspoon or two of milk to help bind the mixture.
Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form 20 protein balls.

Store leftover protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

What if the mixture is too crumbly or dry?
There are a few reasons why your protein balls might be dry or crumbly. One possibility is that you didn’t add enough moisture to the mixture if you’re using Peanut Butter Powder. If you use peanut butter, be sure the peanut butter is melted so that it is a bit runny. You could also add a bit of milk, almond milk, or water to help bind the mixture together.

Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats or gluten-free old fashioned oats
- 1 cup melted peanut butter or 2 cups peanut butter powder mixed with 1 cup hot water
- 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 (50-60 grams)scoops chocolate protein powder- I use Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter Protein Powder
- 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp sugar free chocolate chips
- 1-2 tsp milk of choice, if needed
Directions:
- Combine oats, melted peanut butter, honey, protein powder, and cocoa powder in a large bowl and stir to combine. Mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

- Once combined, use a small cookie scoop to scoop and form 20 protein balls.
