Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free quick oats (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1 cup Clean Simple Eats vanilla protein powder (about 3 scoops) or another whey protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini Cadbury Eggs, crushed
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free quick oats, vanilla protein powder, and salt. Stir these ingredients well to distribute them evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the natural peanut butter, honey, and almond milk into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth, sticky batter.
- Mix Thoroughly: Continue mixing the ingredients carefully to ensure everything is well combined and has a uniform texture.
- Incorporate Crushed Cadbury Eggs: Gently fold the crushed mini Cadbury Eggs into the batter to evenly distribute the chocolate candy pieces without breaking them too much.
- Form Protein Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, placing each ball on a tray or plate.
- Chill and Serve: Either enjoy the protein balls immediately or place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up before eating. Store any leftovers in the fridge to keep fresh.
Notes
- For dairy-free, use a plant-based protein powder and dairy-free milk options.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nut flavor.
- Crushing the mini Cadbury Eggs gently helps maintain texture without them dissolving completely inside the balls.
- Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
