Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter, cashew butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for an extra treat)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt (if your nut butter is unsalted)

Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Sturdy spoon or spatula
  • Plastic wrap
  • Baking Sheet
  • Airtight container

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter (or your chosen nut butter), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until they are well combined and form a smooth, cohesive base.

  2. To the wet ingredients, add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and the pinch of salt (if using). If you're adding mini chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness, fold them in at this stage.

  3. Using a sturdy spoon or a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed. The mixture might seem a little crumbly at first, but keep mixing until it starts to come together. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate everything, ensuring no dry pockets remain. The consistency should be sticky enough to hold its shape.
  4. For easier handling and shaping, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 15–20 minutes. This will firm up the ingredients, making it less sticky and easier to roll.
  5. Once the mixture has chilled (or if you’re going straight to rolling), scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time. Roll it between your palms to form small, compact balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Continue this process until all the mixture has been used.
  6. Your Delicious No Bake Energy Balls are ready to be enjoyed immediately! For the best texture, you can let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before indulging.
