As a mom, I'm always on the hunt for healthy treats. My kids love to snack and enjoy treats, of course, and I prefer for them to have something a little healthier whenever possible. This treat covers those bases for me! Plus, they are quick — I made a batch of 20 balls in about 10 minutes. Perfect for summer snacks and lunch boxes too!
At Macaroni KID, we skip the fluff and get straight to the good stuff. No need to scroll through pages of unnecessary content — our recipes are easy to find. Now let's get cooking!
No-Bake Peanut Butter, Oatmeal, and Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix well until well combined.
- Roll mixture into 1- to 2-inch-sized balls and place on a plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm them up.
- Watch them disappear!
They will store well, sealed, in the refrigerator — if you have any leftovers.
