Easy, kid-friendly peanut butter oatmeal protein bites made with wholesome ingredients. A healthy no-bake snack for busy days, picky eaters, and road trips.
In a large bowl, add the oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, chocolate chips, and sprinkles. Use a spoon to press and mix the peanut butter and honey into the ingredients until everything looks crumbly.
Add water a few tablespoons at a time until the oats start to soften. The texture should become thick like cookie dough, not crumbly.
Let the dough sit for about fifteen minutes so the oats can absorb the water and become easier to roll. The key is letting the oats soak before rolling, otherwise, the mixture will fall apart and you’ll end up adding too much water.
Once the dough reaches an oatmeal cookie dough texture, scoop out heaping tablespoon portions and roll them into balls.Storing: After forming, store them in a large container or sealed bag in the refrigerator. They can sit out on the counter too, but we love them cold!
