How To Make Pioneer Woman Protein Balls

Mix it up:
grab a medium bowl. toss in the peanut butter, oats, flax, chocolate chips, and honey. stir until it looks like cookie dough but smells like gym snacks.

Chill a bit:
stick the bowl in the fridge for 20-ish minutes. helps it firm up so you’re not battling a gooey mess.

Roll time:
scoop and roll into 12-ish balls. if it’s sticking to your hands, just wet your fingers a bit. no biggie.

Set and store:
once they’re rolled, put them back in the fridge. they’ll firm up more and be less “squish” and more “snack.”

Recipe Tips

• flax = good fats + texture. don’t skip it.
• chilling the mix helps. don’t try rolling it warm.
• want less sugar? use dark chocolate or skip the chips.
• natural peanut butter gives the best flavor — no added junk.

How to Store & Reheat

• Room Temperature: not ideal — they’ll get too soft.
• Fridge: in an airtight container, lasts up to 7 days.
• Freezer: freeze in bags or containers for 3 months. thaw 10 mins before eating.
