No-Bake Energy Bites are full of oats, coconut, peanut butter, flax seed and honey. I love the little pieces of chocolate chips through out. They are so easy to whip up and don’t require any baking!
I’ve been sticking to my New Years resolution pretty well. It’s a miracle! I have shed a couple pounds, feeling better and have more energy. I have to give these awesome No-Bake Energy Bites some of the credit. I love these things! They are so delicious, healthy and my new fave on-the-go snack.
These little no-bake bites are chock full of oats, coconut, peanut butter, flax seed and honey. I love the little pieces of chocolate chips through out. They are so easy to whip up and do not require baking or cooking of any kind!
I love that my entire family loves these, too. I’ve been making these the last few weeks and storing them in my fridge up to a week. When my kiddos ask me for a snack I hand them a couple and they eat them up in no time. They think Momma just gave them a little dessert! 😉

These look wonderful but seem like they would be high in calories…any idea of how many would be in one?
I think they look like a healthy snack actually, especially if you use all natural peanut butter and dark chocolate chips. There’s no butter or sugar. Can’t wait to make them! 🙂
I used a recipe calculator and got about 117 calories for 20 pieces. If this is high for you, you could make the balls a bit smaller to decrease the serving size (and calories!).
Use loe fst peanut butter to cut calories and fat grams
These are amazing! Hubs says they are the best healthy snack he has eaten in a long time.
I agree that they are healthy..just wondering about calorie count 🙂
So, I don’t like coconut but I trust you, Holly, more. I made these tonight because I’m also trying to eat healthy – and I cannot believe how delicious they are! They are probably a bit high in calories because of the peanut butter and honey, but they’re better than straight chocolate or a donut.
Anyway, they were so delicious I already shared my experience on my own food blog —-

Thanks again for sharing Holly!
Hi great recipe howwvet they would not stay together when I was rolling them any suggestions?
The mixture needs to be really cold to roll correctly. Maybe leave it in your refrigerator a little longer to chill:)
Is there A substitute for flaxseed since flaxseed is not an item I don’t use.
Candace, you can make them without flaxseed. I have a few times. They still taste great!!
Thank you Holly! Any suggestions on adding mashed bananas and how many?
I added two whole bananas and baked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. It was too moist to sit in the refrigerator to harden.
I made these and added pumpkin puree and it was just the best mix of both worlds!
Hi, how much pumpking did you add?
I’d try replacing 1/3 of the peanut BUTTER, and see how that goes. I’d make the recipe as it is, so you can have an
Idea of how it should end up
