Equipment

• 1 tablespoon cookie scoop (optional)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2/3 cup dry oats
• 2 tablespoons mini M&M’s

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine chunky peanut butter, honey and vanilla. Stir until smooth.

• Fold in mini M&M’s, saving a few to press on top of each ball for a finished look.
• Using a 1-tablespoon scoop or a spoon, portion the dough into small balls and place them on parchment paper.
• Enjoy immediately or chill in the refrigerator for firmer texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.

Tips and variations

• For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter and ensure your protein powder is nut-free.
• If the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon or two of more oats or a small sprinkle of protein powder. If too dry, add a teaspoon of honey or a splash of milk.
• Swap mini M&M’s for dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for less added sugar.
• To boost protein, use a higher-protein powder or add a tablespoon of powdered peanut butter and slightly reduce the oats.
• Freeze the bites on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for quick grab-and-go snacks that keep for up to three months.
