Learn to make no-bake energy balls with oats, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Healthy, quick, and perfect year-round.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter, sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly options
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup honey, or agave
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Optional: a small handful of mini chocolate chips or raisins

Instructions

  • Warm your nut butter slightly if it is very thick, using the microwave for about 15 seconds to make it easier to stir.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the oats, chia seeds, salt, and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or raisins.
  • Pour in the warmed nut butter and maple syrup (or honey/agave). Stir until well combined.
  • Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  • Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for about 15 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, or in the freezer for up to four months.
