Ingredients

  • 3 cups oats
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder or 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • cacao nibs (optional)

Chef notes

I have a couple of fussy eaters (named London and Etta), and these offer an added dose of protein and energy to their diets. They make a delicious healthy snack or breakfast and are excellent paired with coffee (for someone named Siri).

Technique tip: Sometimes wetting your hands helps with a tight, clean roll.

Swap option: For nut allergies, you can sub sunflower seed butter. Small amounts of protein powder are fine for kids, but if you'd rather skip that entirely, you can omit or add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder instead.

Preparation

1.

Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

2.

Form into balls with your hands.

3.

Store in an air-tight container or refrigerate/freeze.
