Peanut Butter Energy Balls

No-bake energy balls with oats, peanut butter and honey. A quick high-protein snack you can prep ahead for the whole week.

Peanut Butter Energy Balls

These no-bake energy balls are the snack to have on hand when hunger strikes between meals. Oats and peanut butter give you slow-release energy and a hit of protein, while a little honey holds everything together with natural sweetness. They take ten minutes to roll, keep for a week in the fridge, and are far more satisfying than anything from a vending machine.

Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

  • Rolled oats 120 g / 4.2 oz
  • Peanut butter 120 g / 4.2 oz
  • Honey 60 g / 2.1 oz
  • Ground flaxseed 2 tbsp
  • Dark chocolate chips (optional) 30 g / 1 oz

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix the oats, peanut butter, honey and flaxseed until well combined.
  2. Stir in the chocolate chips if using. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  3. Roll into small balls, about a tablespoon each.
  4. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container.

Tips

  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter, or add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost.
  • They freeze well, so make a double batch and keep some in the freezer.
