I have seen a lot of recipes for energy balls on Pinterest and always intend to make them. Like most things I end up pinning, I rarely follow through with the creation part. Well, this time we are changing that. After all of my Lemon Oreo recipe shenanigans, it’s time for a healthier snack recipe. This post contains affiliate links, which could help us feed our peanut butter obsession. If you like these oatmeal energy balls, you may also like our Aussie Bites copycat recipe.

No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Balls Recipe

I am in love with these energy balls. They are so full of flavor and texture. I am not sure how much actual energy they give me, but they are definitely better than the snacks I had been reaching for. I cannot wait to make these energy balls with different variations. They are so delicious I pretty much wanted to hide them for myself.

Peanut butter energy balls are great to snack on for after school (watch for allergies), hiking, and any other adventures you have planned. Toss some in a lunch tote and enjoy on-the-go!

    Oops I meant I love they are “No Bake” in my first comment. I accidentally typed “No Make”

    Oh the health benefits of those ingredients look great! But it still sounds like such a treat. I bet the kids would gobble these just as quickly as they would a cookie 🙂

    I love making no-bake energy bars, and I would love to try this! I think I will buzz the oatmeal in a food processor, though. Yum!

    A nice alternative to the usual no bake cookies. Thanks for the recipe.

    I have been looking for different things to eat that are healthy. I am going to make these but switch it up to almond butter since I can’t have peanut butter. I am sure it will taste just as good.
