Description
These Monster Cookie Protein Balls are soft, chewy, no-bake bites that taste just like classic monster cookies. Made with peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms, they’re quick to mix, easy to customize, and perfect when you want a sweet snack that actually feels satisfying.
Ingredients
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
¾ cup rolled oats
-
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
-
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
-
¼ cup M&Ms
-
¼ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
-
1–3 tablespoons milk (only if needed, to adjust texture)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and glossy.
-
Stir in the oats and protein powder (if using) until fully combined.
-
Check the texture — the dough should be soft and slightly sticky but hold together when pressed. Add a splash of milk if it feels too dry.
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.
-
Scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.
-
Enjoy right away, or chill briefly to help them firm up.
Notes
-
Protein powder is optional — the recipe works beautifully with or without it.
-
Vanilla or unflavored protein powder blends best without changing the cookie flavor.
-
If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 10–15 minutes before rolling.
-
For a less sweet version, reduce the M&Ms slightly and use dark chocolate chips.
