No Bake Monster Energy Balls
Description
The recipe involves mixing oats, peanut butter, agave syrup (or honey), mini chocolate chips, M&M’s candy, and optional collagen powder until combined. The no-bake preparation means the ingredients bind together naturally once chilled. After refrigerating for at least two hours, the mixture firms enough to be rolled into balls. These energy balls provide a chewy texture contrasting with crunchy candy bits.
They serve as convenient snacks that can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container, maintaining freshness and firmness. The inclusion of chocolate and candy adds sweetness, making them appealing as a treat with some extra protein or collagen for those focusing on nutrition.
Variations are easy: substitute other nut or seed butters for peanut butter and swap nuts, dried fruits, or seeds in place of the chocolate chips and M&M’s to tailor flavor and texture to preference.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- ½ cup agave syrup or honey
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup mini M&M’s candy
- 1 coop collagen powder or vanilla protein powder, optional
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls onto a parchment lined pan.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Once chilled roll each scoop into a ball.
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
Notes
- Other nut or seed butters can be used instead of peanut butter for allergy or flavor variation.
- Chocolate chips and M&M’s candy can be replaced with nuts, dried fruits, or seeds according to taste and dietary needs.
