No-bake Honey Cinnamon Crunch Protein Balls

🕥 Prep time: 15 mins + 30 mins chill + 1 hr freeze* | 🥣 Serving: About 12 bites* | Recipe by: @healthbypaul

No oven, no fuss. Oats, peanut butter and a double scoop of EarthChimp Choc get rolled into little chocolate-cinnamon bites, then topped with creamy vanilla yogurt and a crunchy cinnamon-cracker sprinkle. Pop them in the freezer and you’ve got a cool, crunchy treat ready whenever the craving hits!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 2 scoops EarthChimp Choc
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or agave (swap for honey to keep it vegan)

For the topping

  • Plant-based vanilla Greek-style yogurt (dairy-free alternative to regular Greek yogurt)
  • Vegan cinnamon crackers or cinnamon graham-style crackers, crushed (check the label, since many cinnamon crackers are made with honey)

Instructions:

  1. Add the oats, EarthChimp Choc, peanut butter, cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup to a mixing bowl. Stir until everything comes together into a sticky dough.
  2. Pop the bowl in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the mixture firms up and is easier to roll.
  3. While it chills, crush the cinnamon crackers into rough, crunchy pieces.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the chilled mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on the sheet.
  5. Top each bite with a little dollop of vanilla yogurt and a sprinkle of crushed crackers.
  6. Freeze for about 1 hour until set. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.*
