Description

Energy oatmeal balls are the perfect no-bake snack for a quick energy boost! Made with wholesome ingredients like oats, nut butter, and honey, they’re packed with protein and flavor. Customize them with your favorite mix-ins for a healthy treat that’s great for meal prep, on-the-go snacking, or a sweet yet nutritious dessert.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) mix-ins (mini chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts, or dried fruit)
  • 1/4 cup (20 g) ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the oats, nut butter, honey, flaxseed (or chia seeds), vanilla extract, salt, and your choice of mix-ins. Stir until fully combined.
  2. Chill the mixture:
    • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
  3. Shape the energy balls:
    • Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  4. Store and serve:
    • Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Serve chilled or at room temperature.



Notes

  • Customize It: Add shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or spices like cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Make It Nut-Free: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini in place of nut butter.
  • Consistency Tip: If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more nut butter or honey. If it’s too sticky, add more oats or flaxseed.
