is it easy to make homemade energy balls?

YES! These tasty bite sized treats are a breeze to make. Gather the ingredients. Measure out the rolled oats, almond flour, mini chocolate chips, cinnamon, honey and peanut butter and add them to a large bowl. Here’s a tip. Spray the measuring cups and the sticky honey and peanut butter will slide right out.

Grab a sturdy spatula and thoroughly combine the ingredients. Portion the peanut butter mixture into tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls.

how to store peanut butter energy balls

Store the peanut butter energy bites in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The recipe makes a big batch (40 delicious treats!) so pop some in the freezer too. They will stay fresh for up to 2 to 3 months in an airtight container.

There is no need to thaw them before eating. They are just as tasty frozen!

chef tips for making peanut butter energy balls

Pick your oats ~ I prefer the hearty whole grains in rolled oats, but instant oats are an acceptable substitute. Skip steel cut oats as they are not as tasty in the recipe.
Use mini chocolate chips ~ As the energy balls are small treats, mini chocolate chips are the perfect size to use.
No stick ~ Spray the measuring cups with cooking spray and the honey and peanut butter will slide right out.
Mix it up ~ It is easy to mix the ingredients together. But a stand mixer or hand mixer can also be used.
Get scooping ~ A medium cookie scoop portions perfect amount of the peanut butter mixture.
Squish ~ It helps to squish the portioned peanut butter mixture in your hand. This ensures the energy balls stay together and are formed in nice round balls.
