Easy No-Bake Energy Balls
Prep Time
20 Minutes
Prep Notes
Can use a different nut or seed butter. Almond butter, cashew butter or any others that you prefer in place of peanut butter. Can omit the coconut. If having trouble getting the energy balls to hold together, I recommend adding in more peanut butter to make the mixture a bit more sticky. Or if you would rather, you can also press the mixture into a square baking dish to make flat energy bars instead of round energy balls. To speed up the chilling, I recommend spreading the mixture out on a small baking sheet and popping it in the freezer 20-30 minutes until mixture is cool.
