Instructions

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Between Mixing Stages 🧊
Refrigerate your mixture for 15-20 minutes after combining ingredients to make rolling easier and prevent sticky hands; this helps the balls hold their shape perfectly.
Toast Your Oats First 🔆
Lightly toast the old-fashioned oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and reduce the raw grain taste in your final snack.
Balance Sweetness with Coconut Ratio 🥥
Use unsweetened coconut flakes and adjust the honey to 1/4 to 1/3 cup ratio; this prevents the balls from becoming overly sweet while letting the coconut's natural flavor shine through.
Use Natural Peanut Butter for Better Texture 🥜
Choose natural peanut butter with minimal additives rather than commercial brands, which contain extra oils that make the mixture too soft and difficult to form into balls.
Protein Powder Selection Matters 💪
Use vanilla or unflavored protein powder to avoid competing flavors; flavored varieties can overpower the delicate balance of peanut butter and coconut.
