This No Bake Energy Balls Recipe is a quick, healthy snack made with oats, peanut butter, honey, and flaxseed. Perfect for meal prep, it’s high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats — ideal for breakfast, post-workout, or on-the-go snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups whole rolled oats
  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey, flaxseed, vanilla, chocolate chips, peanuts, and coconut. Add salt if using unsalted nut butter.
  2. Stir the mixture until well combined. If it feels dry, add ½ teaspoon of water at a time until it sticks together when pressed.
  3. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  4. Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, until firm.
  5. Store the chilled energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for allergies.
  • Add protein powder for extra nutrition.
  • Roll in shredded coconut or cocoa powder for texture and flavor.
  • These freeze well — great for weekly meal prep.
