Description

Gooey S’mores Protein Balls are a delicious and nutritious snack combining the classic s’mores flavors of gooey marshmallow, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers with a protein boost. Perfect for on-the-go energy, post-workout recovery, or a sweet treat, these bite-sized balls deliver indulgence and balanced nutrition with simple, wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup dark or milk chocolate chips (slightly chopped)
  • 1/3 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and accurately measure all ingredients. Finely crush the graham crackers and chop the chocolate chips slightly to help bind the mixture evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and protein powder until smooth and sticky. This mixture acts as the glue that holds everything together.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the rolled oats, crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Make sure everything is evenly distributed without completely smashing the marshmallows.
  4. Form the Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, pressing slightly to keep them compact and gooey inside.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the balls onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh mini marshmallows for maximum gooeyness.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid melting the marshmallows too much.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the mixture before rolling and adding more honey or syrup if preferred.
  • Refrigerate to maintain a firm but chewy texture and prevent melting.
  • Choose a high-quality protein powder for optimal flavor and texture.
