Print Recipe

These quick and easy almond butter chocolate protein balls are a healthy, portable snack made with just five simple ingredients. Perfect for on-the-go energy boosts with a chewy, rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup smooth and unsweetened almond butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter and honey. Stir until smooth and sticky.
  3. Gradually add rolled oats and chocolate protein powder to the wet mixture. Stir until evenly combined and dough forms.
  4. Fold in mini chocolate chips gently.
  5. Roll mixture into 15-18 balls about 1 inch in diameter. Wet hands with water if dough is too sticky.
  6. Place balls on parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling.

Notes

Chilling is crucial for firm bites. Use fresh protein powder and roll with slightly damp hands to prevent sticking. Adjust oats or honey to get the right dough consistency. Can substitute peanut butter for almond butter and maple syrup for honey for vegan options.
