You’ll love these Protein Balls!
Protein balls are one of my very favorite things to keep on hand during the busy weekdays.
Not only are they great to curb hunger, but they actually taste like a treat!
Each bite is packed with protein, carbs, and fat that will keep you satisfied longer than most snacks.
My three boys especially loved these Oreo flavored ones and they were gone quick!
This recipe is from my new cookbook and I am so excited to be sharing it today! Make sure to grab your copy here before they sell out.
Ingredients Needed
- No stir creamy peanut butter: peanut butter and Oreos go together so well!
- Chocolate protein powder
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: to really up the chocolate flavor
- Honey: the sticky sweetener that holds it all together
- Quick oats
- Salt: just a bit to make the flavors pop
- Vanilla extract
- Oreos: both chopped and crushed for topping
- White chocolate chips & Coconut oil: for making the topping
How to make cookies & cream protein balls
Step 1: Add the peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, honey, oats, salt, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until a thick batter forms.
Step 2: Chop 6 Oreos into small chunks, then fold them into the batter.
Step 3: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto the baking sheet. Roll each ball with your hands to smooth out the edges.
Joy’s Tip
Using a mini cookie scoop is my best hack for making protein balls. I have found that the best size is a 1.5 tablespoon sized scoop.
Step 4: Place the baking sheet of energy balls in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
Step 5: Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 15-20 second increments, stirring each time, until smooth.
Step 6: Place the remaining two Oreos into an airtight bag and smash them into very small pieces using the bottom of a cup or a rolling pin.
Remove the energy bites from the freezer and dip the top of each one into the melted white chocolate, then place it back onto the baking sheet.
Step 7: Sprinkle the top immediately with the crushed Oreo before the chocolate sets. Repeat the process for the remaining energy bites. Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
Storing
Leftover protein balls should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. They will keep 5-7 days in the refrigerator, or around 2 months in the freezer.
