Ingredients
- Peanut Butter: 1/2 cup – Adds a creamy, nutty base to the bites, providing a rich flavor and healthy fats.
- Protein Powder: 1/2 cup – The star ingredient, giving these bites a protein boost. Choose vanilla or chocolate flavor for best results.
- Honey: 2 tablespoons – Natural sweetness to balance out the flavors.
- Oats: 1/2 cup – For a chewy texture and added fiber.
- Dark Chocolate: 1/4 cup – For a rich, decadent coating that gives the bites a sweet finish.
- Chopped Peanuts: 1/4 cup – Adds crunch and enhances the peanut flavor in the bites.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your microwave or double boiler to melt the chocolate.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, protein powder, honey, and oats. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Line a small baking tray or dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Assemble the Dish: Shape the mixture into small bite-sized squares or balls and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Cook to Perfection: Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or double boiler, then dip each bite into the chocolate to coat.
- Finishing Touches: Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of each bite before the chocolate hardens.
- Serve and Enjoy: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Let the bites chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before eating to help them set.
- If you want a smoother texture, you can blend the peanut butter and oats in a food processor before mixing.
- Feel free to use your preferred protein powder flavor, but vanilla or chocolate works best for these bites.
