Healthy Energy Balls Recipe

These Healthy Energy Balls are a no-bake, naturally sweet snack packed with oats, nut butter, seeds, and a hint of chocolate. Perfect for a quick breakfast bite, pre-workout fuel, or midday pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together oats, flaxseed, chocolate chips, coconut (if using), and salt.
  2. Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined and sticky.
  3. Chill mixture in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.

Notes

  • You can substitute sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • Chia seeds or protein powder can be added for a boost.
