These chocolate peanut butter power balls are a delightful blend of dark chocolate, peanut butter, and plant-based protein. Rolled into bite-sized balls, they offer a satisfying energy boost and a decadent chocolatey indulgence with every bite. Perfect for a quick snack or post-workout refuel! Plus, they’re quick and easy to make.

METHOD

In a large mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients – peanut butter, rice malt syrup and maple syrup. Stir. Add Superflora protein powder, rolled oats and choc chips.

If the mix looks or feels too dry, add a tablespoon of melted coconut oil. This “dryness” is due to the oil content in your peanut butter. Some brands are oily; some are not. Can you use other types of nut butters? Absolutely. Almond butter (20g low fodmap serving size) works well, but avoid cashew butter if you are sensitive to fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides.

Shape balls and place on baking paper. To achieve the rustic look, don’t over-roll your balls.

Refrigerate 15 minutes to firm up. Makes 16 balls, approx. 22-25g each.

ps. Vegan choc chips can be difficult to find. As an alternative, I’ve used 40g of a block of vegan dark chocolate and cut it roughly into slithers.
