No-Bake Energy Balls
Energy balls have a wellness-food reputation that undersells them. They're basically no-bake cookies in a more defensible shape. These ones take ten minutes to make, cost thirty cents each, and are genuinely better than any granola bar you'll buy. Make a batch on Sunday and they'll get you through the week.
What You Need
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
How to Make It
- 1
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should hold together when pressed — if it's too dry, add another tablespoon of peanut butter; if too wet, add more oats.
- 2
Refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes — this makes it much easier to roll.
- 3
Roll into balls about the size of a walnut. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
