Banana Bread Protein Balls have the same warm and comforting flavors of banana bread. Made with oats, bananas, peanut butter, and protein powder, each bite is an energy boost!
Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Once the mixture has chilled, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Use a 1-tablespoon-sized scoop to scoop out protein balls. Use your hands to shape the scoops into balls and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This is a sticky process so wet your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. Repeat until all of the protein ball mixture has been shaped into balls.
To prevent protein balls from sticking to each other, wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before combining the protein balls into an airtight container. Protein balls can be enjoyed immediately without any additional chill time.

Notes
For a vegan alternative, use maple syrup instead of honey and make sure the protein powder is also vegan.
The mixture is super sticky, so wet your hands before rolling the mixture into balls.
Overripe bananas are best! They're naturally sweeter and will combine more easily with the other ingredients.
Storage: Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Make sure they've chilled in a single layer in the refrigerator first to prevent the protein balls from sticking to each other.
