There are different kinds of oats, and that can get confusing. For the rolled oats in these healthy protein balls, make sure to go with gluten-free rolled oats, and not quick oats, or steel-cut oats. These are the gluten-free oats that I like to use: oats.

Vanilla bean powder is a rich form of vanilla made from crushed vanilla bean. You can get vanilla bean powder online here: vanilla powder, or substitute with vanilla extract in a 1:2 ratio. For every 1/2 tsp of vanilla bean powder, you would use 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract.

There are many protein powders available, so choose one that fits your dietary needs and taste preferences. Look for a powder with minimal ingredients and a clean label. If you are looking for a clean simple protein then check this one out: Truvani Protein.

How to Make Oatmeal Peanut Butter Protein Balls

First, combine the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder in a large bowl.

Next, add the vanilla and crunchy peanut butter.

Then add the raw honey to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients well with a spatula, spoon, or clean hands. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly add 1-2 Tbsp water.

Then place the oatmeal peanut butter balls mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or freezer for 10 minutes to chill. The balls are much easier to roll when cold.
