No-Bake Cherry Oat Balls

Print Recipe

Chewy, naturally sweet energy bites featuring rolled oats, dried cherries, and almond butter—perfect for a quick snack or grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (70 g) dried cherries, chopped
  • ½ cup (128 g) creamy almond butter, well-stirred
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp (14 g) ground flaxseed
  • 3 Tbsp (30 g) mini dark-chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add the rolled oats, chopped dried cherries, ground flaxseed, and chocolate chips (if using). Mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until everything is evenly coated and forms a cohesive dough.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up—this makes rolling easier.
  4. Scoop one heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture (about 18 balls).
  5. Enjoy right away, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Swap almond butter for peanut, cashew, or sunflower seed butter to suit preferences or allergies.
  • For vegan bites, use pure maple syrup instead of honey and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • The mixture may seem crumbly at first—if it doesn’t hold together after chilling, stir in 1–2 teaspoons water.
