Make these no-bake Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Protein Balls and have the easiest on-the-go snack ready to go in the fridge! Oats, peanut butter, flax meal, chia seeds, unsweetened coconut and chocolate chips are rolled together and drizzled with chocolate, keeping you full and satisfied for hours!
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the energy balls (not the chocolate drizzle). Use a rubber spatula or clean, damp hands to mix. If mixture feels to dry, add a little more peanut butter!
Form balls by using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop or a round tablespoon. With damp hands, scoop out mixture then roll into a ball. Place onto cookie sheet or rack lined with parchment paper, then continue to form all balls.
If making chocolate drizzle, set up a saucepan with 2" of water over medium low heat. Place a glass mixing bowl in the pot, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't get too close to the water. Pour in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and coconut oil and stir occasionally with spatula until melted.
Use a spoon to drizzle melted chocolate over energy balls! Let chocolate harden for 10 minutes or more before putting energy balls into airtight container and into refrigerator. Will keep for 1 week in fridge or up to two months in the freezer!
