Place the oats (and optional protein powder) in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey.

Add the ground oats to the peanut butter mixture and continue to stir until thoroughly combined.

Using 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time (I like to use a mini ice cream scooper or a spoon), roll into balls or logs.

Place the coconut in a separate bowl or plate and roll the balls in the coconut to completely cover.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Chill Between Mixing Stages ❄️
Refrigerate your mixture for 15-20 minutes after combining ingredients to make rolling easier and prevent the balls from becoming too sticky or oily.
Toast Coconut Flakes First 🥥
Lightly toast unsweetened coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and add depth to your snack balls.
Use Natural Peanut Butter 🥜
Choose natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for better texture control and a more authentic peanut flavor that won't cause the mixture to become too greasy.
Measure Honey by Weight 🍯
Use a kitchen scale to measure honey precisely—it's denser than other liquids—to ensure the correct consistency and prevent your mixture from becoming too wet or dry.
Roll with Wet Hands Technique 👐
Lightly dampen your hands with water while rolling to prevent sticking and create perfectly uniform, smooth-surfaced balls without extra mess or crumbling.
