These no-bake peanut butter crunch protein balls are creamy, chewy, and packed with crisp texture from rice cereal. They make an easy snack for busy mornings, post-workout bites, or meal prep throughout the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line a plate or small tray with parchment paper and clear space in the fridge.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  3. Fold in the crispy rice cereal and mini chocolate chips gently so the cereal keeps its crunch.
  4. If the mixture feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before shaping.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture at a time and roll into compact balls.
  6. Place the balls on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
  7. Serve chilled, or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a spoonful of oats or protein powder.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
