A quick, easy, and healthy peanut butter-free protein ball recipe perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or post-workout fuel. Made with pantry staples and customizable mix-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • ½ cup sunflower seed butter (120g) or tahini as an alternative
  • ¼ cup honey (85g) or maple syrup for a vegan option
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed (21g)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (20g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (90g, optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by measuring out oats, sunflower seed butter, honey, seeds, and vanilla.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
  3. Add sunflower seed butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Fold everything together until sticky but not overly wet. Add a teaspoon of water or more honey if too crumbly.
  4. Gently stir in mini chocolate chips if using.
  5. Scoop about a tablespoon of mixture and roll into firm balls with wet hands to prevent sticking. Place balls on a lined baking sheet.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up and meld flavors.

Notes

Use fresh ground flaxseed for best flavor and nutrition. Adjust consistency with honey or oats as needed. Roll with wet hands to prevent sticking. Chilling is essential to firm the balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month.
