These energy balls are a quick and easy snack packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, peanut butter, and chia seeds. Perfect for a boost of energy during the day or a post-workout treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Handful of mini chocolate chips or raisins

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or allergy-friendly substitute)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave

Instructions

  1. Soften Nut Butter (if needed) – If your peanut butter or nut butter substitute is too thick, gently warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop for a few seconds to make it easy to stir.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients – In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, chia seeds, and salt (along with chocolate chips or raisins if using) until nicely combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients – Add the softened nut butter and your chosen sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave) to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and slightly sticky.
  4. Shape the Balls – Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. If you prefer, you can also press the mixture into small cookie shapes.
  5. Store – Place the energy balls in a covered container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes

  • You can customize these energy balls by adding in your favorite mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, or seeds.
  • For a boost of protein, try adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mixture.
