Get the Recipe: Peanut Butter Energy Balls
These peanut butter energy balls take only 5 minutes and 5 ingredients! They are the perfect little breakfast, snack or dessert. They are loaded with nutritional benefits. These little bites are gluten free, dairy free, vegan and refined sugar free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free
- ¾ cup all natural creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- ⅓ cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- First, add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
- Mix together. If mixture is too dry, add a drop of water until dough is workable. If mixture is too wet, add a bit more oats.
- Use hands to roll into 1 inch balls.
- Finally, serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to eat. Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- If you are gluten free like me, use certified gluten free oats.
- Use old fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats or quick oats.
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter. Regular peanut butter brands like Jif may be too thick.
- Stir peanut butter before measuring. Oil separation naturally occurs.
- Feel free to add in shredded coconut, dried cranberries, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds or freeze dried blueberries.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Chill in fridge for 1 week. Or, freeze for 1 month.
