Description

These spooky Ghost Protein Balls are a fun, healthy, and protein-packed treat perfect for Halloween! Made with simple ingredients like protein powder, peanut butter, and oats, they’re delicious and easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips (for coating)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Mini chocolate chips or black icing (for ghost eyes & mouth)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  2. Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Freeze the balls for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  5. Dip each protein ball into the melted white chocolate to coat it completely. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
  6. Use mini chocolate chips or black icing to create ghost eyes and a mouth on each coated ball.
  7. Let them set in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until the coating hardens.
  8. Enjoy your spooky and nutritious Ghost Protein Balls!

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk to help with consistency.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • For a lower-sugar option, use sugar-free chocolate chips and a natural sweetener.
