No-Bake Energy Balls

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.

This recipe has been updated with new pictures, and a video to help you make the no-bake energy bites. I also updated the recipe and tweaked it a bit so instead of 6 points per ball these are now 3.  

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. 

What is powdered peanut butter? 

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. You use 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter and 1 tsp of water. So, if you need more powdered peanut butter for a recipe you would use ½ cup of powdered peanut butter plus ¼ cup of water. Many people love powdered peanut butter because it’s low in points for WW. 

What do you do with powdered peanut butter? Use it as a peanut butter replacement for toast, or whenever a recipe calls for regular peanut butter. 

Ground Flax Seed 

What is flaxseed good for? Flaxseed is high in fiber and omega 3 fatty acids. It can help improve digestion and help lower cholesterol levels. 

How to Make Energy Balls 

1. Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.
2. 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.
3. Makes about 20-25 balls. Serving size: 1 ball.

Tips for Energy Balls 

If you’re looking for something else other than chocolate chips to add try dried fruit like cherries, raisins, or cranberries. Add some mini M&M’s, or cocoa powder to make them chocolate. 

Add a scoop of protein powder to the recipe to give them some more protein. This does not help lower the points at all. I tested it in the recipe builder. 

Wait until the batter has completely chilled before rolling these into balls. They are hard to work with if you don’t do this step. 

Use honey instead of agave nectar. Agave and honey are still ok to eat if following the WW diet.
