As a mom, I'm always on the hunt for healthy treats. My kids love to snack and enjoy treats, of course, and I prefer for them to have something a little healthier whenever possible. This treat covers those bases for me! Plus, they are quick — I made a batch of 20 balls in about 10 minutes. Perfect for on-the-go snacks and lunch boxes too!
At Macaroni KID, we skip the fluff and get straight to the good stuff. No need to scroll through pages of unnecessary content — our recipes are easy to find. Now let's get cooking!
No-Bake Peanut Butter, Oatmeal, and Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix well until well combined.
- Roll mixture into 1- to 2-inch-sized balls and place on a plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm them up.
- Watch them disappear!
They will store well, sealed, in the refrigerator — if you have any leftovers.
