These look really tasty, I love PB and gluten free too 🙂
I feel a post marathon training long run, protein treat making session coming on!
Denise P. says
Mine don’t look anything like your pictures and are an ooey gooey mess, I keep checking back to see if I missed something, but its just 2 tablespoons of everything right? Leave it to me to screw up something so simple.
runeatrepeat says
Yes, 2 Tb. of everything. Did you include the protein powder? I tried this recipe without them and it was a sticky mess too. Spray your hands with non-stick spray to roll them then roll them in chia seeds or coconut or something to help with stickiness. Also freezer is better than fridge.
Kathleen says
Thanks for this! I made two kinds: peanut butter/nutella and soynut butter/strawberry jam. I subbed flax meal for protein powder in both and just threw some old fashioned oats in the food processor to soften them because I didn’t have protein powder or quick cook oats. They’re delicious anyway!
Denise P. says
Oh man I wish I had looked at this last night. Now I’ll have to wait 12 hours until I’m home to make up a batch.

I made something similar last week but instead of jelly mine had coconut flakes and mini chocolate chips.

Do you think PB2 would work well in this recipe? oh, oh – how about hazelnut pb? Yum! I’m going to try these! Thanks.
runeatrepeat says
I don’t think PB2 would work, but any other nut butters would!
Melissa says
These look delicious! I am going to try them tonight for sure! I made your peanut butter protein cookies recipe that I found on your site and they were a big hit. My daughter loved them, you would never know there was the protein powder in them. Thanks!
runeatrepeat says
Yah! Glad you liked them 🙂
Megan says
yummmmmooooo
Chloe@SearchingForAHealthierLife says
I love love love marmalade 😀 I have since I was a kid when my nan used to make me marmalade sandwiches! You should try it ;-D
At the moment I am compiling a list of things to make that are healthy for September (maybe late August), when I go back to University and these will be perfect!
Tartanjogger @tartanjogger.wordpress.com says
I think I’ll give these a go later today, since I have these ingredients to hand. They look delish!
Sue says
Rolling in choc chip, the confetti type, counts, right?
runeatrepeat says
Exactly 😉
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
Love how easy these are to make!
Hali says
Yum! Look tasty, thanks for sharing!!
Amy says
OMG!!! So delicious. I had everything in my kitchen and so I made them for a snack. My 9 year-old daughter loved them (called them delicious) and my hubby (who hates anything remotely healthy) said he liked them! Definitely a winner. I have a batch in my fridge to eat tomorrow. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Heather says
what brand of powder did you use? sounds yummy!
Lee Beebe says
Ok, I screwed up. I rarely read blogs and I never post comment; today I was captured by peanut butter.
And now I’m getting e mail notification of all your fabulous comments.
Please dear lord, make it stop.
Posting this without checked boxes in hopes that the course of history I charted for myself earlier can be changed.
Cheers!

Livi says

Jackie says
Yum can’t wait to try it
Ella says
Monica! These sound delicious, but most of us do NOT have protein powder hanging around our kitchens!
runeatrepeat says
Oh no! I have it coming outta my ears over here. I’m outta touch 🙂
Amy says
Don’t worry Monica, I have lots of protein powder here too. 😉
Lori @ www.ffglobetrotter.com says
That looks great & easy! I have to try these…I’m a big chia fan so I’ll be adding that 🙂
M'Reds @ Fit and Lively Dash says
I am so going to make this! As soon as I purchase quick cook oats. I only have steel cut oats at home. But who doesn’t love PB&J? Plus this is a no bake recipe. Heaven for some one looking for treats in the summer, no oven required. I’m so excited. Thanks for posting, Monica.
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Who doesn’t love PB&J?! These look great!
Lee Beebe says
I routinely consume PB n J rice cakes on rides in excess of 3 hours. I’ll have to try these. I do wonder how they would hold up after multiple hours in a cycling jersey pocket. I will probably wrap them in wax/aluminum paper like I do with the rice cakes. Thanks!
Carmie says
These look wonderful! I can’t wait to make some! By the way, I think you’re heading to Maine soon! Have a safe trip and maybe see you at the B2B10K!!
Casey says
Definitely going to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Jane says
