Peanut butter protein balls! Excellent tasty snack!

I know I keep raving about the doughballs and I keep making new versions.  These were the best YET without a doubt.  I made the pnut butter crunch doughballs again but did 1 or 2 things differently and I made a new version that was chocolate almond coconut.  YUM.

Peanut Butter Crunch protein dough balls!


3/4c peanuts
2T maple syrup
1/4c brown rice syrup
1/2c oats
2T peanut butter
1/4c ground flax meal
1/2t cinnamon
1/2T chia seeds
1 large scoop of your favorite protein powder!! I prefer chocolate muscle milk light! Yum

Grind nuts in a food processor.
Add all other ingredients and turn processor on.  Process until large doughball forms. 
Scrape down bowl and process again.  Make sure all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.  It should all come together into one big ball. Roll balls in the flavored protein powder or any thing of your liking :)  [If not, you should still be able to roll it into the balls.] 
Roll into any size you want and store in the fridge. [If the balls seem a little too soft, refrigerate the dough before rolling.]
