Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake energy balls recipe using just five simple ingredients, perfect for healthy on-the-go snacks that are chewy, nutty, and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 g)
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (125 g)
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 g) or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (90 g) or substitute with chopped nuts or dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients and measure everything out.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and peanut butter until oats are evenly coated.
  3. Add honey and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. If too dry, add a bit more honey or a teaspoon of water.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
  5. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
  6. Using your hands, scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon or 15 grams each) and roll into tight balls. Wet hands slightly with cold water if mixture sticks.
  7. Set the balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet, evenly spaced.
  8. Chill the energy balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If peanut butter is oily, stir well before measuring. Don’t skip chilling steps to improve rolling and texture. Wet hands slightly with cold water to prevent sticking when rolling. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to one week or freeze up to three months.
