These energy balls only require five ingredients, and they make a great healthy snack. They taste just like traditional monster cookies but don’t require any time in the oven. Can’t get much simpler than this!
Just one or two of these energy balls and you’ll have the boost you need to get through your next task, even if it’s a homeschool exercise session with your kids.
What You’ll Need for the Energy Balls
Here are the five ingredients you want to gather together:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup peanut butter chips
- ¼ cup M&Ms
How to Make the Energy Balls
Step One:
Alright, let’s make some delicious no-bake energy balls that resemble monster cookies. First, grab a large bowl. Now all you have to do is add all the ingredients to the bowl. Just five ingredients. Make sure they’re all in there.
Step Two:
Once everything’s in the bowl, it’s time to mix it all up. Use a spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients together. You want to make sure everything is well combined, so keep mixing until you’re satisfied.
Step Three:
Now comes the fun part – shaping the mixture into balls! Take about 1-½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Don’t worry about making them perfect – they’re going to taste amazing no matter what shape they are!
Step Four:
Keep rolling until you’ve used up all the mixture. As you finish each of the energy balls, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking and make cleanup time a breeze.
Step Five:
Once all the balls are on the baking sheet, pop it into the refrigerator. Let the energy balls chill for about 30-35 minutes or until they’re slightly firm. This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to handle.
And that’s it – you’ve made your own batch of no-bake energy balls! They’re perfect for a quick snack anytime you need a boost of energy. Enjoy!
