These No Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bites are outrageously delicious! A high-protein no-sugar-added snack made with oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, no sugar added dark chocolate chips, and coconut.
Makes 22 protein balls
What ingredients do I need to make these protein bites?
- Old fashioned 100% whole grain oats-I don’t recommend using quick oats. They don’t have the same texture like the old fashioned oats do.
- Protein powder– I like to use Clean Simple Eats Protein Powder save 10% off with promo code: POUNDDROPPER or Devotion Nutritional Protein Powder- save 10% with promo code: PD10
- Cinnamon
- Low point peanut butter -I like to use Better’n Peanut Butter Peanut Butter
- Honey
- Almond or vanilla extract
- No Sugar chocolate chips: Lily’s (no sugar added) Dark Chocolate Chip , Lily’s no sugar added white chocolate chips, or Lakanto no sugar added chocolate chips
- Unsweetened coconut -optional, points are the same with or without it
- Unsweetened almond milk
What low point peanut or nut butter do you recommend?
Well, my two favorite whipped peanut butters Jif Whips and Peter Pan 1/3 less fat whipped have both been discontinued-but I have since found a few other brands that I LOVE!
This Better’n Peanut Butter Peanut Butter is only 100 calories, 3 WW points for 2 Tablespoons, 4 grams of protein, and is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Palm Oil Free, and Kosher.
You can find it online on Amazon HERE.
Honey: The honey is the binding agent to help hold these No Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bites together.It is also used as a sweetener for these no bake peanut butter protein bites.
Unsweetened Almond milk: You can use skim, regular, cashew, or almond milk for these No Bake Peanut Butter Bites. The milk is used to help mold the bites together and it only required a few tablespoons. The overall point value will not change regardless of which one you use.

These are delicious and came together quickly! I bought Better ‘n Peanut Butter to make these, but was surprised to discover using my favorite no sugar added peanut butter from Santa Cruz Organics (WW = 5 points for 2 TB) the total points per ball was still only 2 :)It worked perfectly using it, no crumbling. My balls weighed 18 grams each, a touch shy of a tablespoon. Don’t be deterred if they taste a little funky as you’re rolling them, the flavor improves as everything combines. I don’t regularly use protein powder so didn’t want to buy a big container, so went with one that was available in a single sized pouch that was 100 calories at the grocery store.

Could these be made into bars instead? If I put the mix into a casserole dish and cut, would that work?

I used Adams brand as I’ve never seen Jiff Whipped Peanut Butter here (Ontario, Canada). So that may have been the issue?
