No-Bake Nutty Energy Balls
These are tasty, protein-rich snacks for when you need a quick pick-me-up. The variations are endless and you can customize to your tastes. I first came across a similar recipe when I was breastfeeding my daughter. I was looking for snacks that were easy to make but which were healthier than processed foods. The recipe I found called them “Boobie Bites.” 😂. This recipe is a modification of the one I found several years ago.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a dry skillet, toast the chopped nuts over low heat, stirring often. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
- 2
Optional: Repeat the toasting process with rolled oats. Monitor closely and stir often to avoid scorching.
Transfer to food processor.
- 3
Pulse the nuts and oats until they are a consistency you prefer. Leaving some chunks is okay.
No food processor? No problem! Just put everything in a mixing bowl and proceed as below. The texture won’t be as fine, but that’s totally okay.
- 4
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined.
- 5
Roll into balls off desired size (mine were about 3/4” across). If the mixture seems too dry, add more peanut butter a little at a time.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 6
Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. They will keep for up to 1 week.

Tips:
⚡️ Results will be best if you use regular peanut butter, not the kind that has separated oils.⚡️ Toasting the oats is totally optional. I’ve tried this recipe both ways, and I actually like the non-toasted version better.

Options:
⚡️ Almond butter instead of peanut butter
⚡️ Maple syrup instead of honey
⚡️ Coconut flakes to replace all or part of the flaxseed
⚡️Addition of a Tablespoon or two of unsweetened cocoa powder
⚡️ Any other nut (almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts)
⚡️ Dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots, dates, prunes) instead of chocolate chips

Bento box lunch . This is for one lunch and will make 4 oatmeal balls. I like to double or triple this recipe to make more for prep lunches or for snacking. Sometimes I will add in mini chocolate chips to this.This is also a great sweet treat when craving something sweet. I use theses in lunches all of the time and just add in some fresh fruit and veggies. This is a good alternative for granola bars.
