Peanut Butter Jelly Balls (Printable Version)

No-bake peanut butter and jelly protein balls with oats and chia seeds, ideal for a quick energy boost.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 90 g old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 30 g vanilla protein powder
03 - 15 g chia seeds

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 125 g natural creamy peanut butter
05 - 8 ml vanilla extract
06 - 30 ml maple syrup

→ Add-ins

07 - 60 g raspberry jam

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds until evenly distributed.
02 - Add peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
03 - Use a spoon or spatula to mix the dough until fully combined, ensuring it is thick and slightly sticky.
04 - Gently fold in the raspberry jam, taking care not to overmix to maintain pockets of jam within the dough.
05 - Scoop approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of dough and roll into balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
06 - Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture. Adjust maple syrup to preferred sweetness. Store in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week. Alternative jams like strawberry or grape work well.
