These no-bake energy balls are the perfect healthy snack for busy days, packed with oats, nut butter, and natural sweeteners. They provide a clean, wholesome source of energy and are customizable to fit your taste preferences or dietary needs.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup ground flax seeds or chia seeds

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir in the flax or chia seeds, and a pinch of salt if desired. Mix until the ingredients come together into a dough-like consistency.
  3. If adding chocolate chips, fold them in gently.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
  5. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a shallow container.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the energy balls firm up and hold their shape.
  7. Once chilled, enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • You can substitute the nut butter with almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter.
  • For a vegan version, ensure your sweetener is plant-based and the nut butter is dairy-free.
