Equipment

1 Cookie Scoop 1 Tablespoon size
1 Baking Tray Lined with parchment
1 Stand mixer

Ingredients

2 cups peanut butter
1 cup raw honey
1 cup chocolate peanut butter flavored protein powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup mini chocolate chips or regular size

Instructions

In a large bowl, or stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix together the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a 1 tbs cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Should make 30-35 depending on how tightly you pack them.
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to set. Or pop in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter, creamy, or chunky, or whatever peanut butter you have on hand. A natural peanut butter will have less added sugar.
You can substitute other oats if desired.
Mini chocolate chips make it easier to distribute throughout the protein balls, but regular size works well too.
