No-Bake Protein Balls
Quick no-bake energy balls made from oats, raisins, and nut butter in 10 minutes. Naturally sweet, vegan, and perfect for a portable snack.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup vanilla or chocolate plant protein powder about 1 scoop / 25 g
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup nut butter peanut, almond, or sunflower
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey if not vegan
- 2 tbsp seeds sunflower, chia, or hemp
- 1-2 tbsp plant milk if needed, to bind
- cinnamon a pinch
- salt a pinch
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the oats, protein powder, raisins, seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir in the nut butter and maple syrup until the mixture holds together when pressed. Since protein powder dries the mix, add plant milk a teaspoon at a time if it feels crumbly.
- If too soft to roll, chill for 15 minutes; if too dry, add a little more nut butter or milk.
- Roll into about 16 balls, wetting your hands so the mixture does not stick.
- Chill for at least 15 minutes to firm up, then serve.
Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats if needed. Roll in coconut or cocoa for variety. Store in the fridge up to 10 days or freeze up to 3 months.
