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!

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