🥜 Peanut Butter Oat Energy Balls (No-Bake Snack)

These soft and chewy peanut butter energy balls are quick to prepare and made with simple ingredients. They are perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or a small sweet bite during the day.

📝 Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (plus extra for rolling, if desired)

  • 1½ tablespoons honey

  • ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds or chia seeds (optional)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the Base

In a medium mixing bowl, add:

  • Peanut butter

  • Honey

Stir well until smooth and evenly blended.

2️⃣ Add the Dry Ingredients

Add the oats to the peanut butter mixture.
If using chocolate chips or seeds, add them now.

Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture becomes thick and slightly sticky.

3️⃣ Chill the Mixture (Optional but Helpful)

Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes.
This helps the mixture firm up and makes shaping easier.

4️⃣ Shape the Balls

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time.
Roll it gently between your palms to form a small ball (about 2.5 cm / 1 inch wide).

If desired, roll each ball in dry oats for extra texture.

5️⃣ Set and Store

Place the balls on a tray or plate.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.

Transfer to an airtight container.
