A quick and simple no-bake energy balls recipe using five pantry staples, perfect for a wholesome snack that boosts energy without any fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (125g) nut butter (almond or peanut, Justin’s Classic Almond Butter recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons (20g) chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup (45g) mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, and 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips in a mixing bowl; stir gently to distribute evenly (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 1/2 cup nut butter and 1/4 cup honey to the dry ingredients; use room temperature honey for easier mixing (2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture holds together when pressed; if too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water or more honey one at a time.
  4. Pinch off about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of mixture and roll between palms to form small balls about 1 inch in diameter, making roughly 15-18 balls; wet hands lightly if sticky.
  5. Place formed balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Enjoy immediately or store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use room temperature honey and nut butter for easier mixing. Chill the balls for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape. If mixture is too dry, add honey or water a teaspoon at a time. For smoother texture, pulse oats and chia seeds briefly in a food processor before mixing. Substitute ingredients to accommodate dietary needs or preferences.
