Ingredients for these peanut butter coconut energy bites

To make these energy bites, you’ll need the following ingredients:

2 cups rolled oats (most oats are gluten-free, but check your label to be sure)
1/2 cup Lily’s dark chocolate premium baking chips
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Making these no-bake peanut butter balls

Start by pulsing your dry ingredients in the food processor. Be sure not to overprocess them or they’ll turn into flour.

Just a few pulses of the food processor give a less “oaty” consistency but leave the chocolate chips pretty intact.

Now you need something to bind the dry ingredients. For this recipe, it is chunky peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and a bit of almond milk.

Just a more quick pulses and the mixture is ready to make into balls!

Some energy bites require the mixture to go into the fridge before you can start forming the balls, but not so with this recipe! It was just sticky enough to be able to make the healthy energy balls right away.

With clean hands, scoop out enough of the dough to make 1″ balls. You should get 30 out of the mixture.

There is no baking, so the balls are ready to try now!

Tasting these no-bake peanut butter bites

These easy peanut butter balls are slightly sweet from the honey and have a creamy flavor that comes from the peanut butter.

Dark chocolate chips, rolled oats, and flaked coconut all add a nice bit of texture in every bite.

This is one of the easiest and tastiest recipes you can make. They really are very tasty!

What makes energy bites such a great snack?

If you love recipes with easy clean up, energy bites are the way to go. There is no need to get out your mixture. Everything comes together in the food processor bowl.

Energy bites give you the taste and fun of a cookie, but in a less sugary way, without all the fuss of making cookie batter.

Depending on the ingredients, you can also get a lot of protein from an energy bite that you won’t get in a normal cookie recipe.

The ingredients for energy bites can be as sweet or as healthy as you like.

Honey was the sweetener for this recipe, but maple syrup, medjool dates, and coconut sugar are sweeteners that are other options.
