Peanut Butter Energy Balls
These no-bake peanut butter energy balls mix oats, peanut butter, honey, and flaxseed into a chewy, protein-packed snack ready in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, stir the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Microwave 15-20 seconds first if the peanut butter is stiff.
- Combine. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir until fully combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough. Refrigerate the mixture for 20-30 minutes — this makes it much easier to roll.
- Roll into balls. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a 1-inch ball. Repeat with remaining dough, about 18-20 balls total.
- Store. Keep peanut butter energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
Store peanut butter energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let frozen balls sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating.
