Let’s whip up a batch now!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or any kind you like)

• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds

• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, but who doesn’t love a little chocolate?)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

• 1–2 tablespoons water (if the mixture is too dry)

How to Make It:

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed (or chia seeds), and a pinch of salt. If you’re adding any other dry ingredients, like mini chocolate chips or dried fruit, throw them in now.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

Next, add your nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything together. The mixture might seem a little dry at first, but keep mixing, and it should come together nicely.

Step 3: Adjust the Consistency

If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it’s moist enough to stick together when pressed. You want it to be firm enough to roll into balls without falling apart.

Step 4: Roll Into Balls

Once the mixture is well combined, it’s time to roll it into balls! Grab about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into a ball using your hands. If you find the mixture sticking to your hands, try wetting your palms a little with water to make rolling easier.

Step 5: Chill and Set

Place the energy balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help them set. This will make them firm up and easier to snack on.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once the energy balls are chilled, they’re ready to enjoy! Grab a few for a quick snack or keep them in the fridge for whenever you need a healthy boost.

Tips for Perfect No-Bake Energy Balls:

• Customizing Flavors: You can get creative with your energy balls! Try adding dried cranberries, raisins, coconut flakes, or sunflower seeds. The possibilities are endless.

• Storage: Store your energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month—just thaw them for a few minutes before eating.

• Making Them Sweeter: If you like things sweeter, feel free to add a little extra honey or maple syrup, or even a handful of chocolate chips for a sweeter bite!

These no-bake energy balls are perfect for when you need a snack that’s quick, nutritious, and delicious.

They’re the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and they’ll keep you energized all day long.
