No Bake Protein Balls
Made in 10 minutes, this simple recipe for no bake protein balls are full of feel-good ingredients and packed with protein. These balls of goodness satisfy afternoon cravings and are perfect for on-the-go snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 3 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oats, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Add pecans. Coat pecans with dry ingredients.
- Add honey and peanut butter. Mix well. It is going to be sticky. If it is too sticky, put the mixture in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- With a small cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture 1 ball at a time and put on a lined cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Once you have all your balls, put them in the freezer for 5 minutes until they harden and ready to serve.
Notes
- They store well in the fridge for one week. If you store them in the freezer, they should last up to 3 months but they are so good that I doubt they will last that long!
- When I form the balls, I put them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet because when you put them in the freezer, they will be much easier to take off the sheet to transfer to a close.
- If you cannot find flaxseed meal, but you have flaxseed it’s ok. Just grind them in an herb grinder or I often use my Ninja individual blender.
- Spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before adding the honey. When you pour it into the mixture, the honey will slide right out.
