Ingredients​

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  2. Stir in the chopped nuts and dried fruit.
  3. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should end up with around 12-15 energy balls.
  4. Place the energy balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  5. Store the no bake energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips and Variations​

  • To add some extra protein to your energy balls, try mixing in some chia seeds or hemp seeds along with the oats.
  • If you find that your energy balls are too sticky, try adding a little more oats or honey to balance them out.
  • Experiment with different types of nut butter or flavorings, such as almond butter or cinnamon, to create unique variations.
