    Energy balls are super easy, delicious, and no-bake snacks that can be put together quickly. Made with simple ingredients such as dates, oats, nuts and seeds to help boost your energy.

    Energy Balls

    Personally, I like these easy energy power balls because I can make them in no time; just throw all the ingredients in the food processor, blend, then form into balls, and then enjoy the best, quick snacks ever.

    Because I tried a lot of energy ball recipes, I can promise you this is the only recipe you will ever need!

    Whether you like to call them power balls, date balls, energy bites, energy balls, they are delicious, and perfect snacks for kids and adults.

    No-Bake Energy Bites Ingredients

    • Dried date: Date is so important in this recipe that even my daughter calls the recipe date energy balls.
    • Nuts: Who doesn't like walnuts and hazelnuts?
    • Oats: To make this recipe gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free oats!
    • Seeds: I like to use pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chia seeds in my energy balls.
    • Honey: A delicious, natural sweetener.
    • Coconut: Optional!

    Tip: If you have any nut allergy, you can skip the nuts and use only the seeds.

    “See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

    Alternatives

    • Sometimes, I like to replace the dates with figs, and the recipe turns out delicious!
    • Use any nuts you prefer instead of walnuts and hazelnuts.
    • If you like to use something else rather than honey, maple syrup would be a good choice.
    • You can replace chia seeds with flaxseeds.

    Tips For The Best No-Bake Energy Balls

    • To make the balls the same size, measure them using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop.
    • In this recipe, both rolled oats or porridge oats will work well; I used porridge oats.
