I originally saw this recipe on Instagram being made by Amber Lancaster. I took the bones of that recipe (butterscotch chips, peanut butter, protein and peanuts) and tweaked it to make it even tastier for our family.
I decided to test out some different ingredients and after several rounds came up with this recipe. It’s seriously amazing. When I make a batch, they disappear so fast. They are obviously not low calorie, but they pack a protein punch.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bites that are INSANELY Delicious
Servings 24 balls
Ingredients
- 1 bag chips chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, any flavor will work
- 2 scoops chocolate protein
- 1/2 cup oats (ground)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup peanuts
Instructions
- Melt chips in a glass bowl in the microwave. I use about 3/4-7/8 of the bag of chips as opposed to the whole bag. Microwave at stop to stir every 15-30 seconds to prevent scorching.
- Once fully melted, add protein and oats until well combined.
- Add peanut butter then peanuts.
- Refrigerate immediately until ready to serve.
Notes
My preference is this chocolate protein from GNC.
To make your life easier, either use parchment paper or a silicone muffin tray. This cookie dough scoop is wonderful!
This is so good!!! Peanut butter and chocolate is such a delicious combination anyway.
You’re going to love them!
They look so good! I can’t wait to try these!
Do you use a certain brand of peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats or peanuts, or just whatever you can find?

Honestly, I use whatever I have in my pantry!
As far as protein, I love the GNC chocolate protein: https://shopstyle.it/l/bicRW
I don’t think I have any of the ingredients, except peanut butter maybe and not even much of that I think lol, so I have to get all of the ingredients. Protein powders are a little pricey, but I really want to make these!
Silly question, did you have to grind the oats and they came that way? I was looking them up (never bought them before) so I don’t know much about them

I ground the oats in my nutri-bullet. You don’t have to add in oats, you can leave them out if you prefer. My hubby prefers them without oats, but I like them with oats!
Thank you! I really want to try them, but may have to wait until the protein powder goes on sale as it’s pricey and I wouldn’t use it for much else 😬
