These no-bake Energy Balls are a quick and healthy snack made with rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and nutritious add-ins. They’re naturally sweetened, easy to customize, and perfect for on-the-go energy or satisfying cravings.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes (includes chilling)
  • Yield: 12–15 energy balls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. Adjust consistency with more oats or nut butter if needed.
  3. Roll into 1-inch balls using a spoon or small scoop.
  4. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Use sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
  • Pulse oats in a food processor for a smoother texture.
  • Add-ins like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or dried fruit work well.
  • Add protein powder for an extra boost—reduce oats slightly to maintain texture.
  • Wet hands slightly when rolling to prevent sticking.
