Peanut Butter Energy Balls Recipe | No-Bake High Protein Snack
Chewy, no-bake Peanut Butter Energy Balls are a quick and easy snack made with just 5 ingredients: oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and honey. These high-protein bites taste like cookie dough and are perfect for meal prep or on-the-go snacking.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 4 tablespoons honey maple syrup, or agave
Instructions
- Mix It Up : Combine the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and sweetener in a bowl. Stir until everything’s well mixed. If the batter feels sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Roll ‘Em Out : Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Aim for about 18 balls total.
- Chill & Store : Place the balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks—or freeze for longer storage.
- That’s it! Seriously, could it get any easier?
Notes
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for 1–3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- Substitutions: Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter; use maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Make Ahead: Double the recipe—they disappear fast!
