No-bake energy balls are loaded with healthy ingredients like ground flaxseed and agave to help give that little boost of energy or sweet tooth fix you need throughout the day.
I completely forgot about this recipe and need to make these more now. If you’re looking for a quick treat you can easily pull them out of the fridge and pop one in your mouth. It’s like eating a chocolate chip cookie but without the baking.

Ingredients Needed
- Oats – rolled or quick oats work well as a base and provide fiber and complex carbohydrates.
- Unsweetened coconut flakes are a versatile and healthy ingredient that can be used in various recipes. These flakes are made from the flesh of the coconut and are dried and shredded into small pieces.
- Chocolate chips
- PB2 (½ cup of powder + ¼ cup of water) – Powdered peanut butter is roasted peanuts that have been pressed to remove most of the oil. In the past, I’ve always been skeptical of it when trying to make larger amounts for a recipe but if you’re wondering how to make powdered peanut it’s a 2 to 1 ratio.
- Ground flaxseed – Flaxseed is high in fiber and omega 3 fatty acids. It can help improve digestion and help lower cholesterol levels.
- Agave nectar is a natural sweetener that is derived from the sap of the agave plant.
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to Make Energy Balls
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.
- Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1″ in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- Makes about 20-25 balls. Serving size: 1 ball.
