Ingredients for Pumpkin Protein Balls

• Quick Oats
• Pumpkin Puree
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Smooth Natural Peanut Butter
• Mini Chocolate Chips

If you’ve never made a batch of protein balls, you should know how SIMPLE and QUICK they are to make (and eat!). All you have to do is combine all of your ingredients and mix! Seriously! It’s too easy.

How To Shape Pumpkin Protein Balls

You don’t have to form this recipe into balls in order to enjoy them. You could press the mix into a baking dish and form them into little bars.

Anyways, if you want to know how I shaped the pumpkin protein balls, I won’t keep it a secret from you. Grab a standard cookie dough scoop and take an even portion of the mix, pressing it against the edge of the bowl as you take the mix out of the bowl. This will ensure you aren’t adding different amounts each time!

Using clean hands, use cupped palms to apply even pressure move both your hands in opposite circular motions. This will result in even protein balls!

Storage

You can store these in an airtight container or a baggie on your counter, if you will eat them in a couple days. If you believe it may take a few days for you to get through these, store them in your fridge.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Ball Ingredients

Making Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Balls is so EASY! The ingredients are simple and typical household staples. That means you don’t need to take a special trip to the grocery store.

To start, you need oats. Any kind works but quick or 1-minute would be best. You also need your favorite chocolate chips! I use the classic Nestle Toll House but you could also use a sugar-free variety or even white chocolate chips.

Next, crunchy peanut butter. You don’t need to use crunchy but it adds some nice texture to the balls. You will also need protein powder. I used the brand Ascent because they have a peanut butter chocolate flavor. You can snag it from Amazon or sub it with any other protein powder you have on hand.

Lastly, you just need a punch of honey, salt, and vanilla extract. These ingredients help amp up the flavor, but can be easily altered.

Once you’ve rounded up all of the ingredients you’ll be using you’ve already done the most difficult part of making peanut butter protein balls!

Your next step is to measure out the correct amounts and add them to a bowl. Then mix them all up. Next, grab your cookie scoop and grab equal amounts of the mixture and firmly roll it together with clean hands.

Lastly, place them on a cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer for about an hour. This step helps the balls to stick together. If you want to eat them immediately-go for it!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Ball Nutrition

Because this snack is considered ‘healthy’, I figured out the nutrition facts for you. This recipe makes 13 balls, so this is for a batch of 13. If you end up making more or less these nutrition facts will be slightly skewed.

Each protein ball contains 122kcal, 7g fat, 11g carb, and 5g protein. These are a perfectly balanced little snack or pre-workout snack. 1 or 2 is just enough calories to keep you going between meals without going overboard. 5g of protein each makes it easy to up your daily protein intake!
