Fitness Friendly Peanut Butter Protein Balls!

So, I know it's not Pumpkin but it's my other obsession...Peanut Butter!!  These are so good and easy to make-I had to share them!  They are perfect for a snack pre or post workout, or if you have a craving for a cookie or delicious baked good.  This will satisfy any sweet tooth and give you a boost as well as a smile from ear to ear!  I can't wait for you to try these!!  Ok-here is your ingredient list:


1 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup oats
3 scoops protein powder
craisins, nuts, other dried fruit to taste
cinnamon to your taste


Start with a saucepan on the stove.  Put one cup of honey, and one cup of your favorite peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, i like to use natural crunchy pb because it gives it extra crunch and texture).  Heat that on low until they blend and you can stir it easily.


Turn the heat off.  Next add in your oats and protein powder and mix in completely.  Then add as much dried fruit, nuts, or anything else that sounds good to you (i like to use craisins and/or dried apricots).  Sprinkle in some cinnamon!Once it's all mixed in, take the pan and put it in the fridge for at least an hour to toughen up a bit.  

While those are toughening up, take some tupperware and line it with a sheet of parchment paper.  Once your hour has passed take the pan out.  Now simply take your mixture and roll it into 1" balls (or as big or small as you want) and place them in the tupperware.  Then return them to the fridge and wait for your next craving!!!  YUMMMMM!

Guilt free indulgences...what more can we ask for??  My husband and I are obsessed with these and I hope you will be too.  Let me know if you have any questions, and let me know how you like them!
