Peanut butter protein balls

[musclebeauty]

Gotta try these if you love peanut butter as much as i do....

• Prep Time: 10 min
• Cook Time: 0 min
• Ready in: 10 min
• Yield: 24 1" balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup (256 grams) natural peanut butter (the kind with just peanuts and salt)
• 1/4 cup (80 grams) honey or 1/4 cup brown rice syrup for a vegan version
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (135 grams) rolled oats (use gluten-free oats, if needed)
• 1/2 cup (42 grams) unsweetened shredded coconut
• pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup (57 grams) mini chocolate chips (use vegan chocolate chips, if needed)
• 2-4 teaspoons water or additional vanilla extract

1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, brown rice syrup or honey and vanilla extract.
2. Stir in the oats, coconut and salt until well combined and then add the chocolate chips. If the mixture doesn’t hold together well when pinched together, add the additional water or vanilla, a teaspoon at a time until the mixture holds together well when pinched.
3. Form 1” balls by pressing about 1 tablespoon of the mixture together.
4. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for 1 week.

Yum! Ill be making these! I use my food processor or ninja and use a handful of dates for a gooey texture. I also really like to bake with mutant or magnum protein (Magnum is at least lactose free)

YUM! Ill have to post my fav recipes!!

Ohhh, these are deadly!! I make these too pretty much the same, I just add some ground flax seed to mine as well.

I flatten mine a bit and then I freeze them and then eat them frozen. They're so good and they take a little longer to eat so that way you don't eat too many at once.

I'm going to make some now.
