These no-bake peanut-butter oat energy balls come together in minutes, require only pantry staples, and satisfy sweet-snack cravings without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • 1⁄2 cup (125 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1⁄3 cup (115 g) honey or maple syrup
  • 1⁄4 cup (25 g) ground flaxseed
  • 1⁄4 cup (40 g) mini dark-chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and salt.
  2. Add peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is evenly coated and starts to clump.
  3. Refrigerate the bowl for 15 minutes to make rolling easier.
  4. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls and roll between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
  5. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower-seed butter for allergy-friendly versions.
  • Add 2 tbsp protein powder for an extra boost; if mixture is dry, splash in 1 tbsp milk.
  • Roll balls in shredded coconut or crushed nuts for a crunchy coating.
  • Let frozen balls thaw 5 minutes for the best texture.
