Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup old fashioned oats, slightly broken down in the blender
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (e.g., XR systems)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2–3 tbsp finely ground coffee or Crio Bru
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand recommended)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup all natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup raw honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a KitchenAid mixer bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, finely ground coffee, and mini chocolate chips. Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed by blending on low speed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: To the well-blended dry ingredients, add the creamy peanut butter and raw honey. These add richness and moisture to the mixture.
  3. Mix to Form Dough: Mix the combined ingredients on medium speed until a cohesive dough forms. This should be thick enough to hold shape when scooped.
  4. Scrape and Re-mix: Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate any unmixed ingredients. Mix again briefly to ensure the dough is homogeneous.
  5. Shape Powerballs: Remove the bowl from the stand mixer. Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet or directly into a storage container.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the powerballs for at least one hour to firm up. This step helps the balls set and enhances their texture.
  7. Storage and Serving: Keep the powerballs refrigerated and consume within one week. Enjoy as a quick snack or energy boost!

Notes

  • Use finely ground coffee or Crio Bru to evenly distribute coffee flavor without large gritty particles.
  • The raw honey helps bind the ingredients while providing natural sweetness.
  • Mini chocolate chips add bursts of chocolate texture; choose allergy-friendly brands if needed.
  • Adjust the amount of coffee to taste, between 2-3 tablespoons depending on desired intensity.
  • The recipe is no-bake and requires only chilling for firming.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These powerballs are great as a pre- or post-workout snack.
