Chewy no-bake Peanut Butter Energy Balls made with oats, creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. These protein-packed snacks taste like cookie dough and are quick to prepare, perfect for a healthy and satisfying treat anytime.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 18 balls

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup or agave)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the oats, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are completely incorporated into a sticky, dough-like consistency.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture to the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps firm up the batter, making it easier to shape.
  3. Form the Balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into 18 bite-sized balls using your hands. Ensure they are evenly sized for consistent texture and portions.
  4. Store Properly: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • For firmer energy balls, chill longer before rolling.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
  • These energy balls can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw before eating.
  • Add a pinch of salt or cinnamon for extra flavor if desired.
