Peanut Butter Energy Balls: A Guilt-Free Snack

These Peanut Butter Energy Balls are perfect for snacking, breakfast or even a healthy dessert. I personally like to munch on a few before hitting the gym for a quick burst of energy. They are chock-full of nutritious ingredients and taste just like no-bake cookies, but with much less of the guilt.

Rolled oats and ground flax seed infuse these bites with fiber and protein while the combination of chocolate and peanut butter give them the most irresistible flavor. Pureed dates are used to bind the bites together while giving them natural sweetness.

These tiny treats also freeze well, so feel free to make a batch and then pop them in the freezer until you are ready to eat them.

How to Make Peanut Butter Energy Balls

No-bake energy balls are so quick and easy make. Simply add the dates to a food processor and process them until they turn into a paste. Add the rest of your ingredients and pulse a few times (just until everything is combined). Finally, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls with your hands. That’s it!

For this Peanut Butter Energy Balls recipe, I recommend:

Here are a few kitchen items I suggest using to ensure this recipe turns out perfect every single time:

  • Natural Peanut Butter – Not all peanut butters are created equal, so I recommend using one like this that has no added sugars or preservatives.
  • Food Processor – This is the one I use and love! I have had mine for years and it is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I use mine all the time to quickly combine ingredients and to make sauces and dips.
