Ingredients in the Energy Balls
- Old-fashioned rolled oats – I always use rolled oats for protein balls because during processing they get steamed and flattened/rolled. This makes the texture way better for no bake recipes!
- Nut butter – My one tip for nut butter is to make sure it’s drippy! It can be hard to mix when you have a more “solid” or “dry” nut butter, so I recommend finding a runny nut butter. You can use any nut butter you want for the base… even a seed butter like sunflower butter or tahini if you’re allergic to nuts.
- Date paste – I add date paste instead of a sweetener to my base because, in my opinion, it is the key to balanced flavor! Feel free to use maple syrup or honey if you want to.
- Protein powder – you can use your favorite protein powder and change the flavor based on the combo of ingredients that you pick !

Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, tahini…)
- 1/4 cup date paste
- 2 tbsp protein powder
- 2 tbsp condiments of your choice (chocolate chips, coconut, raisins, cranberries, etc)
Instructions
- Add oats, nut butter, date paste, protein powder, and condiments of your choice in a large bowl.
- Mix until you get a smooth mixture. You can use your hands to mix. When well mixed, use a small cookie spoon to form the dough into balls. If the mix is too dry or crumbly, you can add a little water or soy milk to the mix, 1 tsp at a time, until the mixture is moist enough to form into balls.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator or freezer.
