No Bake Energy Bites

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.

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.

Suzanne — June 25, 2025 @ 8:27 am I’m wondering the same thing. I’d love to have the macros for this. Dru — February 5, 2025 @ 8:39 pm Reply 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. Sara — February 8, 2025 @ 9:57 pm Reply Do you know what the calorie count and protein is? Schellee — February 10, 2025 @ 8:42 am Reply Very good and easy to make- didn’t add coconut- just added more oats! Thank you! Would love nutritional value, please Denise — February 14, 2025 @ 5:55 pm Reply Where can i find the nutritional value? Lili — February 19, 2025 @ 11:28 am Reply Really delicious and very easy to make – my 4 year old helped me make them. Any nutritional info available? Rhonda Izzard — February 23, 2025 @ 1:35 pm Reply Where can I find the nutrition information for these? How many calories are they? Thanks Deborah Kennedy — March 5, 2025 @ 12:32 pm Reply 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 Beck — August 7, 2025 @ 7:28 pm 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. Angelina — March 12, 2025 @ 3:16 pm Reply Sooo delicious, hearty, and healthy. Thank you for the recipe! Julianne — March 13, 2025 @ 12:40 pm Reply Does anyone know the nutrition facts!?

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.

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, Kim Fran — April 14, 2025 @ 1:10 am Reply Muy útil y fácil de elaborar con alto contenido de proteína e ingredientes saludables gracias Owen Littlefield — April 23, 2025 @ 10:29 am Reply Definitely a 5 star recipe.

Kriste — July 26, 2025 @ 2:51 pm I was hoping someone would answer this as I wonder to Mary — May 21, 2025 @ 8:40 am Reply 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!! David — June 29, 2025 @ 10:49 am Reply 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. Cindy — July 11, 2025 @ 2:44 pm Reply 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. Nerissa — July 19, 2025 @ 1:49 am Reply 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!! Jami — August 17, 2025 @ 11:36 am Reply Super easy to make and very delicious! Allie — August 24, 2025 @ 11:39 am Reply 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.

brilliant

1/2 cup of natural peanut butter is approx. 128 grams and 1/3 cup honey is about 113 grams

Added hemp seeds for protein

Used extra oatmeal instead of coconut, very good

They were good but just not for me.

Added 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds instead of coconut

Added tahini, cinnamon

These are wonderful for a quick breakfast or snack.

These are hands down my favorite pre-workout snacks. Definitely include flax seed and use mini chocolate chips instead of big ones. Chocolate shavings also work very well.

Yum!!! Excellent recipe.

Used 1/4 c honey. Think 1/3 c would have made them too sweet. Also added 2 tbsp peanut butter to the mix to help bind it together. Very yummy!

Good but too much honey taste. Will reduce next time. Added extra scoop of peanut butter as suggested. Will do mini chocolate chips next time for better texture.

nom nom 4 real

Easy and delicious

An absolute favorite!

Easy, versatile recipe! I didn’t have enough honey so I used part maple syrup. Perhaps a bit stickier because of that but they taste great and hold together well. I made them into bars because I’m too lazy to roll them into balls and it worked well!

Yummy! Used sweetened shredded coconut instead of toasted. Fingers get really sticky but still easy cleanup!

These are yummy and very filling

Reduce the flax seed to half.

Absolutely delicious! Just the right balance of sweet and and added little crunch! Only 121 calories! 🙂

Yum!

I like to make a triple batch and keep the extra in the freezer.

Wonderful. Also try with white chocolate chips and almond butter.
