Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups traditional oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (heated for 30 seconds)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup of peanut butter warmed in the microwave for about 30 seconds, 1/3 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips, and 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts. You can optionally add chia seeds or mini chocolate chips, or omit walnuts as per preference.
  2. Mix Until Blended: Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is consistent and the oats, chips, and walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter and honey mixture.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the blended mixture for about 1 hour or overnight. This chilling step allows the ingredients to bind well, making it easier to shape the mixture into balls.
  4. Form Protein Balls: Remove from refrigerator and use your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized compact balls, ensuring they hold together firmly.
  5. Prepare for Storage: Place the rolled protein balls onto parchment paper to prevent sticking and to facilitate easy removal later.
  6. Store and Serve: Store the protein balls in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks, ready to enjoy as a wholesome, portable snack.

Notes

  • You may substitute walnuts with other nuts like almonds or pecans if desired.
  • For additional fiber and nutrition, consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds.
  • Use natural or unsweetened peanut butter for a healthier option.
  • These protein balls can be frozen for longer storage—just thaw before eating.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to roll, chill longer or add a bit more oats to adjust consistency.
