No Bake Energy Bites

I shared with you a few weeks ago 3 Ways I’m Getting Healthy by exercising, cooking healthier, and cutting out some sugar and caffeine. I wish I had started doing this when I was younger, but I don’t think it’s too late to start.

I don’t know if you’ve seen these or not, but these No Bake Energy Bites have been floating around Pinterest, so I decided to give them a try, and I love them!

No Bake Energy Bites
 

After I made mine, I realized I added 1/2 cup honey instead of 1/3 cup, so that’s why mine looks a little different. I should have added more oats.

Here’s all you need:

1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (I used regular size because that’s what I had, but mini’s would work better.)
1 tsp vanilla

Mix all the ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the mixture firmer and easier to work with the roll into one-inch balls. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

That’s it! When you crave something sweet, these are a great alternative!

Have you tried these no bake energy bites? What’s your go-to energy snack?

  1. I made these today & they taste amazing! I actually made 2 batches – one with chia seeds added & one with walnuts added just because this is what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing this versatile recipe!

  2. I make some similar to this & use 1/3 c. Dried crasins. Love almond butter in place of peanut butter also for variation.

    1. Oh Mary W thanks for commenting! I have a child with peanut allergy, so I was bummed I couldn’t make these. But I can try the almond butter. Thanks for the idea!

  3. the oldfashioned works just great. Try the almond butter instead of peanut butter and ck the nutrition facts. I believe the fats are better than the peanut butter

  4. Thank you for the recipe, Cyndi and a big thank you to Betsy for sharing the serving info. I don’t buy or eat most things without checking the serving size and calorie count. My energy snackie of choice is a serving (1/4 cup) of walnuts and one square of Lindts Organic 95 % Cocoa. I break that little square up into pieces and put them in a snack baggie with the nuts. I love oatmeal so as soon as I but some ground flaxseed, I will try those bites ( with semi sweet chips!…love my dark chocolate:-) )

  5. Hi Cyndi.

    They look delicious! I make something similar, but I use Shakeology in lieu of the chocolate chips. Shakeology is a super food, for sure! They are delicious and so good for you. I am going to try yours as well, maybe with dark chococlate chips. http://www.myshakeology.com/ghsamia

    BTW, I love coconut oil too! I use it as my moisturizer when I get out of the shower. 🙂 Thanks for sharing. Always love your posts.

    Total Fat: 5.6 g; Cholesterol: 0.0 mg; Sodium: 30.4 mg; Total Carbs: 12.6 g

    Hope this helps!

  7. I love these things! They are like dessert! I put coconut in mine and I freeze them. makes them even chewier and like a treat! and…. I LOVE francis chan. My ladies bible study is almost done with the book “Crazy Love”. It is a great Bible study. Really stops you in your tracks and calls you to live out radical chiristian behavior.I love it.
