Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls
Description
This recipe blends dry ingredients like oats, cocoa powder, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds with creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to create small, flavorful snacks without baking. The combination of seeds and oats provides a hearty, chewy texture, while peanut butter and honey add natural sweetness and binding.
Mini chocolate chips stirred into the mixture contribute bursts of chocolate flavor and a bit of crunch. The energy balls are rolled into portioned sizes and chilled to firm up. Their no-bake nature makes them convenient to prepare and store.
Ideal for a quick energy boost between meals or a post-workout snack, these energy balls can be refrigerated for up to two weeks or frozen for longer storage, maintaining their texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the oats, cocoa powder, flaxseed, chia seeds, salt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Mix on low with the beater blade until well combined. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.

- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 2 tablespoons per ball. Place in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
