Perfect for a quick breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up, these no-bake energy balls are a wonderful treat to have tucked away in the fridge. Mix all the ingredients together by hand, (or with your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) and roll away while you listen to your favorite pod cast or audio book.

Printable Recipe

Ingerdients

• 1 cup old fashioned oats (not instant or quick-cooking)

• 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed (see notes below)

• 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

• 1/3 cup maple syrup (see notes below)

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients together and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling into balls.

2. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks..

Notes

• Ingredients can be mixed by hand, but I find it easiest to use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.

• Low carb, sugar free, or carob chips may be substituted for the chocolate chips. I usually use Lily’s no sugar added chips.

• Honey or agave may be substituted for the maple syrup.

• I prefer to buy whole flaxseed and grind it myself using my NutriBullet or spice grinder.
