Don’t you love when you can snack on something that tastes like a guilty pleasure but is whole, healthy, vegan and gluten free? Chocolate lovers indulge because this is the recipe for you! These satisfying protein balls almost remind me of a peanut butter cup but an extremely healthy twist on them! They are easy to make, easy to store and easy to eat! They are a great breakfast on the run, mid day snack, or dessert after dinner. Who doesn’t like such a versatile recipe. The only problem is you can never make enough of them because they get eaten up so darn quickly!
Ingredients
2 cups rice cereal
6 TBSP oats
2 TBSP cocoa powder
2 TBSP chia seeds
½ cup natural chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup honey (can be swapped for maple syrup if vegan)
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients until well combined
- In a microwave safe bowl add peanut butter, honey and vanilla
- Put in microwave for 20-30 seconds (depending on microwave), just enough to make it easy to combine.
- Remove from microwave and stir well.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and combine well.
- Wet your hands slightly and form balls using approx. 1TBSP of dough at a time. Tighten the dough between your hands to make it easier to handle and then roll into a ball.
- Place in sealed container and put in fridge until ready to eat!
