How to Make Peanut Butter Protein Balls

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

  1. Step 1

    Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, peanut butter, maple syrup and crispy rice cereal; mix until well combined. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (a little smaller than a ping-pong ball) and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Chocolate Drizzle

  1. Step 1

    In a microwave-safe dish, combine the chocolate chips and olive oil and microwave for 15-second increments, stirring after each cycle, until smooth and melted.

  2. Step 2

    Carefully pour the melted chocolate into a zip-top bag or pastry bag. Cut a small corner off of the bag and generously drizzle over each ball. Sprinkle the peanuts on top of the chocolate.

  3. Step 3

    Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
