Print Recipe

Quick and healthy no-bake energy balls made with peanut butter, oats, and honey. Perfect for a satisfying snack on the go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (250g)
  • 1/3 cup honey (113g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (14g) – optional but recommended
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (43g) – optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients. Measure out the oats, peanut butter, honey, flaxseed, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and salt.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If peanut butter is stiff, microwave for 15 seconds to loosen.
  3. Stir in the oats, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly combined. If mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra honey.
  4. Use your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. This recipe makes about 20 balls. Wet hands lightly with water if mixture sticks.
  5. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.

Notes

Use natural creamy peanut butter without added sugars or oils for best flavor and texture. Chilling is essential to help the balls firm up. Rolled oats provide better texture than instant oats. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or brown sugar if desired. Wet hands slightly to prevent sticking when rolling.
