No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Energy Bites (10g Protein, No Oven Needed)
No-bake peanut butter protein energy bites — 10g of protein per serving, ready in 15 minutes plus a quick chill, for about $0.70 a serving. This is what’s always in my fridge when the afternoon slump hits. No oven, no mixer, just rolled up and ready — and they taste like cookie dough that happens to hold you over.
Ingredients
Method
- Combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Roll into 12 balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Buy old-fashioned rolled oats in bulk instead of individual packets — they’re the base of the recipe and cost pennies per serving that way.
