Instructions

MIX TOGETHER THE INGREDIENTS:

In a bowl, add all ingredients and mix together using a spoon or spatula to ensure that all ingredients are combined.
Using a spoon, scoop mixture (about 2 Tbsps) and using both hands—roll into a small ball. Repeat until all mixture is made. NOTE: Place each peanut butter ball unto a baking sheet (can be lined with parchment) side by side to help them keep their form.
NOTE: You can make them jumbo like shown in my pictures by scooping about 3 Tbsps each.

CHILL BALLS:

Now, refrigerate peanut butter balls to help them harden and "set", about 20-30 minutes.
Removed from refrigerator and enjoy!
Bon Appetit!

Notes

STORAGE: Can be kept refrigerated (covered) for up 2 weeks.
NUT BUTTER: Instead of using peanut butter, you can also substitute with Almond Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter, Tahini, Soynut Butter, Pecan Butter, Hazelnut Butter, or Granola Butter.
VEGAN OPTION: To make these protein balls vegan-friendly, simply substitute the honey with pure maple syrup, date syrup, etc. and ensure that the peanut butter is vegan-friendly.
