Stir everything together. Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
Chill. Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is chilled. (This will help the mixture stick together more easily.)
Roll into balls. Roll into mixture into 1-inch balls.
Serve. Then enjoy immediately! Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes
Prep Time: The prep time listed does not include time for the mixture to chill. To speed up the chilling, I recommend spreading the mixture out on a small baking sheet and popping it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until the mixture is cool.

So I am wondering about the nutritional information on these balls and about how many it makes?
Suzanne — June 25, 2025 @ 8:27 am
I’m wondering the same thing. I’d love to have the macros for this.

Super quick and easy. i added brewers yeast as well to make them more lactation friendly
Lauren C — February 6, 2025 @ 11:42 am Reply
These are AMAZING!!! My husband and I are obsessed. Will be making weekly!
Do we know the nutritional content? Either way I love that they’re homemade and have amazing ingredients.
Tanya Probst — February 6, 2025 @ 5:51 pm Reply
Been making these for years, i just started adding protein powder, hemp seed, and cologne along with the flax meal and chi seeds.

Do you know what the calorie count and protein is?

Very good and easy to make- didn’t add coconut- just added more oats! Thank you! Would love nutritional value, please

Really delicious and very easy to make – my 4 year old helped me make them. Any nutritional info available?

Where can I find the nutrition information for these? How many calories are they?
Thanks

I do not have the flax seed meal. Is there a substitution or is it possible to just leave it out.
Annette — March 9, 2025 @ 1:04 am Reply
For those asking about nutritional value, this is what ChatGPT said:
Note: I omitted coconut since I’m not fond of it, and added 1/2 cup to the oats instead. :)
Estimated Calories for the Full Recipe:
Old-fashioned oats (1.5 cups) → ~450 kcal
Peanut butter (1/2 cup) → ~760 kcal
Ground flaxseed (1/2 cup) → ~260 kcal
Semisweet chocolate chips (1/2 cup) → ~400 kcal
Honey (1/3 cup) → ~275 kcal
Chia seeds (1 tbsp) → ~58 kcal
Vanilla extract (1 tsp) → ~12 kcal
Total Calories for the Whole Batch: ~2,215 kcal
Calories Per Energy Bite (1-inch ball)
If you roll them into 20 balls, each ball would be:
~111 calories per 1-inch ball
If you make 24 smaller balls, each would be:
~92 calories per ball

Thank you for doing the research. The nutrition was a hot topic!
Sarah — March 10, 2025 @ 11:55 am Reply
Delicious! I did about half the flax and added brewers yeast too (but make sure to get debittered brewers yeast! Or you will taste bitterness). Melting the peanut butter and honey in the microwave first helps a little bit for everything to stick together too.

Sooo delicious, hearty, and healthy. Thank you for the recipe!

I’d love to know the macro breakdowns of the energy balls.

I absolutely love these no-bake energy bites. I use them in place of protein bars that is used to buy. These are easy to make, and my family enjoys when I make them. I omit the chocolate chips though.

Donnie Walker — April 1, 2025 @ 12:54 pm Reply
Delicious!! They’re like candy! Any idea how many calories per ball?
Connie Stanley — April 7, 2025 @ 2:55 pm Reply
So based on my very rough and unchecked calculations, here’s what I come up with as far as nutrition numbers. This is based on 20 bites per batch:
Per bite
Cal: 120
carb: 12-13
Protein: 3
sugars: 7
I think this is pretty close…at least it gives you an idea. This is also based on the exact ingredients listed in the recipe. Hope this helps! P.S. I have made these and they are addictive!
Kim — April 13, 2025 @ 6:51 pm Reply
Could you please give me the calories, protein and carbs per ball. I know it would be a guestament:)
Thank you,

As a diabetic, many of us definitely need the nutrition information before we ever make a recipe.

Can I use quick cooking oats to make these instead of old fashioned oats?
Jasmine — May 13, 2025 @ 8:30 pm Reply
has anyone tried adding unflavored protien powder to these? if so, amounts?
Kriste — July 26, 2025 @ 2:51 pm
I was hoping someone would answer this as I wonder to

Best recipe for energy bites that I have ever used! I ground my flax seed in a coffee grinder, left out the chocolate chips (too sweet for me) , and I used crunchy peanut butter as that’s the kind I buy. Absolutetly yummy!
Jessica — May 28, 2025 @ 11:09 am Reply
It’s like Christmas morning when I remember that I have some of these squirreled away in the freezer! So good and so easy to customize with goodies I find in the pantry. I put them in an 8×8 pan and cut into bars .So far this is my favorite recipe for these that I’ve found. Thank you!
H — May 31, 2025 @ 11:08 am Reply
I made these for the first time today and being from the South, I had to taste before putting in the refrigerator to set. These are amazing and will become my go-to snack for summer and especially when school starts back in the fall!!!!!!
Susan — June 11, 2025 @ 9:48 pm Reply
Can’t wait to try !
Lanie — June 12, 2025 @ 11:20 pm Reply
This is my go to energy ball recipe for my postpartum friends and they are such a crowd pleaser! My family loves them too. I like to use half old fashioned oats and half quick oats or even pulse the oats a bit for a smoother texture. I use unsweetened shredded coconut and I don’t toast the coconut, though I’m sure that tastes amazing – I like easy and less steps. I love to mix the ingredients with a hand mixer or toss it all in my Kitchen Aid mixer to make it easier. These also freeze well!
Jenni — June 24, 2025 @ 4:03 am Reply
We have made the recipe, rolled into balls. This time we doubled the recipe and have pressed onto a baking tray to make it into a slice. Will refrigerate and cut into pieces.
My son asks how they turn out when you bake them. Has anyone tried baking them?
When I have the oven on again tomorrow, I will put a couple of pieces in to see what happens 🤞
sabrina — June 24, 2025 @ 7:56 am Reply
I’ve made at least 3 double-batches of these in the last month or so, I absolutely LOVE them.
I add some toasted slivered almonds for extra crunch and some coconut extract gives them a sort of almond joy flavor.
tip! using *freshly* toasted coconut and almonds warms up your peanut butter / honey and makes it easier to mix, with a bonus that it melts the chocolate chips and makes it taste more like a classic no-bake cookie!!

Can you add protein powder to increase the protein content?
Lucy T — July 8, 2025 @ 6:19 pm Reply
I put the ingredients in ChatGPT and got this: Here’s the full nutritional breakdown for your recipe, totaling approximately 2,285 calories, with 58g protein, 139g fat, and 234g carbohydrates for the entire batch.

Could I add mashed ripe Bananas to this recipe? And if I could, would I add more of the dry ingredients?
Chris Ann Ann — July 14, 2025 @ 12:03 am Reply
Could I use flaxseeds instead of ground flax? My local coffee shop makes some that have the flaxseed in them and I was trying to find a recipe that seemed to duplicate the ingredients, which yours seems to do. I’m excited to try them.
Amanda — July 17, 2025 @ 6:05 pm Reply
Here’s the **approximate protein content** for each ingredient in the recipe (for the **entire batch**):
| Ingredient | Amount | Protein (g) |
| —————————— | ——- | ———– |
| Old-fashioned oats | 1 cup | 10 |
| Toasted shredded coconut | 2/3 cup | 4 |
| Creamy peanut butter | 1/2 cup | 16 |
| Ground flaxseed | 1/2 cup | 9 |
| Semisweet chocolate chips | 1/2 cup | 2 |
| Honey | 1/3 cup | 0 |
| Chia seeds (optional) | 1 tbsp | 2 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp | 0 |
| **Total (without chia seeds)** | | **41 g** |
| **Total (with chia seeds)** | | **43 g** |
### Per Serving:
If you divide this into **12 energy bites**, each would have roughly:
* **3.4–3.6 g protein per bite**
Let me know if you’d like a breakdown per ingredient brand or if you’re dividing the batch differently.

These are so yummy, made them in the past and kind of forgot about them. Just remade them and omg they are still so good! Super easy to throw together and can be customized with add ins. Great recipe!
Amy von Gillern — August 3, 2025 @ 8:17 am Reply
I’m sorry I haven’t reviewed this sooner because I’ve been making these for years! This recipe saved my sanity during my postpartum time with my firstborn when I didn’t have the energy to cook, clean, or do anything except care for the baby and adjust to life. I made these all the time and had something to quickly eat if I didn’t have time for anything else. Now two kids later, I still make these for everybody in the family to enjoy. We absolutely love this recipe! They are so healthy and don’t taste like a “health” food which we all love. If you have a friend who is recently postpartum, these are the perfect treat to drop off!!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for this recipe!!! I have been using it for years and have told so many people about it, and everyone always loves the bites.

I inputted this into My Fitness Pal and this is what they came back with for nutritional values. It’s the recipe as written except I do 1/4 Cup Almond butter and 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter. I also use Dark Chocolate chips
