Enjoy!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Easy Peasy! Just the kinda recipe this Mama likes! Thanks so much!
I made something similar last week but instead of jelly mine had coconut flakes and mini chocolate chips.
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED!
Do you think PB2 would work well in this recipe? oh, oh – how about hazelnut pb? Yum! I’m going to try these! Thanks.
I don’t think PB2 would work, but any other nut butters would!
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!
Yah! Glad you liked them 🙂
yummmmmooooo
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!
I think I’ll give these a go later today, since I have these ingredients to hand. They look delish!
Rolling in choc chip, the confetti type, counts, right?
Exactly 😉
Love how easy these are to make!
Yum! Look tasty, thanks for sharing!!
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! 🙂
what brand of powder did you use? sounds yummy!
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!
Oh no! Let me see if I can fix it. You might have to click “Unsubscribe” on the next email to make it stop.
Oh my goodness – I’m so excited to try these! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Totally unrelated, but thought ofnounwhen I saw this http://www.lightsleeperheavydreamer.com/2013/07/watermelon-pizza.html
YUM! Need to make these ASAP!
Need. I’ll be making a batch for tomorrow!
yum! making these for dessert ;)!
Yum can’t wait to try it
Monica! These sound delicious, but most of us do NOT have protein powder hanging around our kitchens!
Oh no! I have it coming outta my ears over here. I’m outta touch 🙂
Don’t worry Monica, I have lots of protein powder here too. 😉
That looks great & easy! I have to try these…I’m a big chia fan so I’ll be adding that 🙂
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.
Who doesn’t love PB&J?! These look great!
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!
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!!
Definitely going to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
These look amazing! I need to try this recipe!
YUM! Anything with peanut butter is AMAZING. Thanks for sharing.
