This No-Bake Energy Bites recipe is easy to make, full of feel-good ingredients, and irresistibly delicious!
Friends, have you tried this no bake energy bites recipe? ♡
It’s one of my all-time favorite recipes here on the blog, and one that I’ve personally made about a zillion times since I first published it here eight years ago.
I love these little energy bites because they are easy to make with simply pantry ingredients that I almost always have on hand. They are super easy to mix up and roll into cute little energy balls. (Or if you would like to save time, you can press the mixture into a parchment-covered baking dish, and then cut them into energy bars.) They are the perfect make-ahead recipe to keep on hand for healthy snacking or breakfasts. And most importantly, they are just irresistibly good.
Over the years, thousands of our readers have made and loved this classic energy bites recipe too. So I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try!
No Bake Energy Bites Recipe | 1-Minute Video
No Bake Energy Bites Ingredients:
To make this no bake energy bites recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
Old-fashioned oats: Also called rolled oats — these will serve as the base ingredient for our energy bites.
Shredded coconut: Which I highly recommend toasting — either briefly in the oven or in a sauté pan — before adding to the energy bites. (Just be sure that they have cooled before adding in the chocolate chips, or the chocolate may heat and turn a bit melty.)
Creamy peanut butter: I have used both traditional creamy peanut butter and natural creamy peanut butter in this recipe, and both work!
Ground flaxseed: To add some extra protein, fiber and omega-3s to our energy bites.
Semisweet chocolate chips: I photographed this recipe with standard-sized semisweet chips, but mini semisweet chips mix in easier.
Honey: To add some natural sweetness and also help to bind the energy balls together.
Chia seeds (optional): Feel free to skip the chia seeds, if you do not have any on hand. But I love adding in a tablespoon or so when I do!
How To Make Energy Balls:
To make these energy bites, simply…
Stir everything together. Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
Chill. Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is chilled.*
Roll into balls. Roll into mixture into 1-inch balls.
Serve. Then enjoy immediately! Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
If you have 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 just press the mixture into a square baking dish to make flat energy bars instead of round energy balls.
Possible Energy Bites Variations:
There are all sorts of ways that you can customize this energy bites recipe, so feel free to get creative! For example, you are welcome to…
Make energy bars: Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan, chill, and then slice into energy bars (instead of rolling the mixture into energy balls).
Use a different nut or seed butter: Use almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or any other nut/seed butters that you prefer in place of peanut butter.
Omit the coconut: I’ve heard from many of you over the years who don’t love coconut. If that’s the case, no prob, just omit the coconut and add in an extra shake of oats instead.
Add spices: If you would like to give these energy bites some extra flavor, feel free to add in a few pinches of ground cinnamon or some pumpkin pie spice.
More Healthy Snack Recipes:
Looking for more healthy snack inspiration? Here are a few of my favorite snack recipes!
Stir everything together. Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
Chill. Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is chilled. (This will help the mixture stick together more easily.)
Roll into balls. Roll into mixture into 1-inch balls.
Serve. Then enjoy immediately! Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Prep Time: The prep time listed does not include time for the mixture to chill. To speed up the chilling, I recommend spreading the mixture out on a small baking sheet and popping it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until the mixture is cool.

Hi Sue! We’re sorry but we are unsure of the nutrition facts/amount of calories in this recipe. We currently are not publishing nutrition facts on the site, as the nutrition calculators available are not 100% accurate, and we never want to publish anything that might be misleading. However, a lot of our readers love the My Fitness Pal nutrition calculator, so feel free to try that for an estimate. We hope that helps!
Wondering if you know the calorie content?! Thanks

Hi! I am a health coach and wanted to make your recipe for an event I’m doing this weekend. (Ill give you credit of course :)) Trying to figure out my best option here. It’s a five minute cooking demo, so I’m not going to be able to do the whole process with them. If I have them pre-made, will they be ok sitting in a bag for like 5 hrs not refrigerated?
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Emily! We’re sorry for just now responding to your comment. These should be fine sitting out, unrefrigerated for 5 hours or so — just make sure you don’t leave them in too warm of a place, otherwise they could get mushy and lose their shape. We hope this helps!
Are the flax seeds necessary, I know they are healthy and give the protein portion of this snack, but their very high in calories. My peanut butter has added protein, so if that is the only reason the flax seeds are in there, do I have to use them?
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi there! No, you can skip the flax seeds if you like (you just might want to add some extra oats to supplement). We hope you enjoy these!
Made these tonight (minus the flax seed since I didn’t have any) and they are SO GOOD! Thanks for such an easy delicious recipe! Only downside is trying not to eat them all too soon!

These are good and easy to make, though, high in calories. Each ball is 200 calories! I could have handled 140 like how the average granola bar from the store is, but 200 is a bit high for me for weight loss. BUT, they would be great for taking along on hikes or training for a marathon!! Which I will do when I train next year. So, big thumbs up for that!!!
I actually came across this recipe from a friend on fb and wanted to give them a try. All I have to say is I am in love with these❤️ I have tweaked it a bit to add some shakeology to it and it tasted so good. I am sharing your recipe on my fb because everyone should try this. This is so yummy and thank you for this recipe ??
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Thanks for your comment, Carmen! We’re so happy you’re a fan of these! :)
I made this recipe the first time, it was a big hit at my home with both my kids and hubby. Now I make it regularly and is always there in my fridge for my kids when they are back from school and for me and hubby as a dessert after dinner! Thanks for a super easy and delicious recipe

This recipe looks great! I was wondering what I an use instead of the Oatmeal. Almond meal? What do you think?
Thanks for your help and creativity :)
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Sue! We definitely wouldn’t use almond meal instead of the oats in this. Almond meal is much finer, and it will be a completely different taste and texture. We’ve only tried these with oats, and really can’t think of a substitute that would work well. We hope you can still give these a try!
I just pulled the bowl out of the fridge…and it’s delicious, but how the heck do you get it to stick together?? Mine crumbles every time I try to roll a ball together. Should I add some water? Thanks!
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
We’ve never had any trouble getting these to stick together. :( Refrigerating them definitely helps. We wonder if some folks are having difficulty with these because of the type of peanut butter they’re using? Natural peanut butter tends to be a bit thinner and runnier, as opposed to something like Jiff or Peter Pan. If you have trouble in the future, try adding a bit more peanut butter (you could try adding just a bit of water), and just refrigerate for a little longer. We hope this helps!
How long do these last in the fridge and how long if left out on the counter?? Thank you! :)
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Angeal! These don’t need to be stored in the refrigerator, but they will definitely last longer if they are — probably 1-2 weeks. They also freeze beautifully!
Love these! I add hemp seeds, a dash of Perfect Food Super Greens and organic Brown Rice Crisps…delish for a tiny bit of crunch! I also increase the amount of peanut butter as needed to help the crumbling. Thank you for sharing this! :)
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Your additions sound great, Leigh, and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed these!
What would you recommend for a flax seed substitute? I am a breast cancer survivor and I avoid flax due to its potential estrogenic properties.
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Kellie! Instead of flax seed, you could just use extra oats, or you could use almond meal, protein powder, wheat germ, or hemp seeds (or a combo of those). We hope this helps!
These are delicious. My kids loved them. I bought some to work and the adults loved them too. I didn’t have fresh flax seed. I used bobs red mill. I also only has plain shredded coconut. Recipe is so flexible .
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Thanks for sharing with us, Christine — we’re so glad you and your family enjoy them! :)
Made these for my sister to have post partum. :) I taste tested one and it was sooo good. Because I only had unpasteurized honey I opted for a couple tablespoons of maple syrup as a sweetener instead….Perfect!
I don’t have the nutritional facts but for anyone interested these are four weight watchers smart points each if you make twenty five.
I made these using the same ingredients however I don’t like coconut so instead I used cocoa powder, also my girlfriend is allergic to honey so we used agave. Got a batch of 40 out of it and love them! Good as a breakfast snack or a quick energy snack before gym.
What’s the shelf life? Should they be stored in the fridge? T.Y.!
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Jeremy! Yes, these will last longer if frozen or stored in the fridge (though you can totally keep them at room temp if you want). If stored at room temp, they’ll probably last about a week or so. If stored in the fridge, they’ll probably keep for a couple of weeks. We hope you enjoy!
Hi!
I
was
wondering
how
many balls you would consider to be a “Serving Size”!
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
We would guess one or two (at least that’s how many we typically have at a time), but we don’t have the nutrition facts on these. We currently are not publishing nutrition facts on the site, as the nutrition calculators available are not 100% accurate, and we never want to publish anything that might be misleading. However, a lot of our readers love the My Fitness Pal nutrition calculator, so feel free to try that for an estimate. We hope that helps!
I recommend substituting or adding 1T. Maca powder (for an extra boost of energy) as well as adding sunflower seeds (roasted have the most flavor). Gives them a great crunch and chewiness.
Have you ever added protein powder to these balls if so what flavor and how much? Thank you
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
We haven’t, but we think that would be a great idea! You could just use a vanilla flavored one, and try adding 1/4 cup (you may need to add a splash of water and/or a little more peanut butter to them if you do, to help them bind. We hope this helps and that you enjoy!
Do you think I can use pure maple syrup instead of honey? If I omit the coconut will that effect the recipe :) thank you!!
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Stacie! We think you could definitely use maple syrup instead of honey (since it’s thinner though, you may find you need to add a bit more peanut butter or oats to compensate). You can also leave out the coconut – no problem. We hope you enjoy these!
Do you recommend refrigerating these once made? I’m just wondering how long they keep?
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Leslie! You don’t have to keep them refrigerated but they will last longer (they also freeze beautifully)! If stored in the fridge, they should last for at least a week, if not two. We hope you enjoy!
Can you make these without coconut? or would I need to add something to help keep them together? My family doesn’t like coconut. Thank you
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Laura! Yes, you can definitely make these without coconut. You could just use extra oats and/or nuts/dried fruit in place of the it if you want. We hope you enjoy!
Made these with the slight adjustment of LSA for flax seed, I had no flax seed, added cranberries, pumpkin & sunflower seeds, and they haven’t lasted …… I mean they have been demolished…onto my next batch. am also looking for no cook bars I can make with dates & other stuff. Cheers J
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
We think your swaps sound great and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed these, Jacqueline! :)
We love these and want to share with our friend who can’t eat oatmeal. What do you suggest?
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
Hi Gisele! Unfortunately we’ve never tried making these without oats (they’re really the main ingredient in the recipe). You can definitely sub out nuts/seeds/dried fruit/chocolate chips, etc., but we don’t think there’s a great swap for the oats (at least not that we’ve tried or can think of). If your friend can’t eat oats because of the gluten, you could just use gluten-free oats, however. We hope this helps!
HI I love this recipe. Do you think it is possible to add protein powder for a little extra protein ?
Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven —
We’re glad to hear that, Noel! And yes, you can most definitely add some protein powder to these! Depending on how much you add, you might find you need to add a bit more peanut butter to help them bind (you can also add a splash or two of water if needed).

I only have whole flax seeds. Can I just grind them myself before adding them in? Or is ground flax seed different somehow? Thanks!
Hi Molly! Yes, you can definitely just grind the whole flax seeds you have for these. We hope you enjoy! :)
how many does it take to fill you up for breakfast
Hmmm, that’s hard to answer, it all depends on the person and how hungry you are! We tend to just eat these for a snack.

Looking forward to trying this but I could only find ground chia seeds – would I need to use more, you think?
Yes, we would probably use a little more if using ground instead of whole. We hope you enjoy these!

Sounds so good! Do these need to be kept refrigerated or can they be tossed in a purse for an on the go snack?
Thank you, Shawni — we hope you enjoy them! They don’t need to be refrigerated, but they will last longer if they are.
I have quick oats at home, will those work or are old fashioned a better option? Not even sure what the difference is..
Thanks!!! Working retail over the holidays, need some healthy energy!
Quick oats totally work too! :)
Tried these, so good!!
We’re glad you enjoyed them! :)
I just pulled the bowl out of the fridge…and it’s delicious, but how the heck do you get it to stick together?? Mine crumbles every time I try to roll a ball together. Should I add some water? Thanks!

Oh my gush, I hope they taste as great as they look. Great photos.
What can you use instead of coconut
Hi Jenn! You could just use extra oats and/or nuts/dried fruit in place of the coconut. We hope you enjoy!
Are the coconut flakes sweetened or non sweetened?
Hi Becky! We use unsweetened, but you could use sweetened if you want. We hope you enjoy!
If I’m not crazy about coconut, can I just more oats to replace it or will that mess things up? Thanks!
You can definitely do that! Or you can add some dried fruit/seeds, or a combination. We hope you enjoy!
How long do these last in the fridge and how long if left out on the counter?? Thank you! :)
Hi Angeal! These don’t need to be stored in the refrigerator, but they will definitely last longer if they are — probably 1-2 weeks. They also freeze beautifully!

How long do these stay good in the fridge
These will probably last about two weeks if stored in the fridge. They also freeze beautifully!
I use mini reese’s pieces for extra peanut buttery goodness <3
We think that’s a great idea — yum! :)
Yummy! Thanks. I used Trader Joe’s Almond butter and Blue Agave instead of peanut butter and honey.
We’re glad you enjoyed these, Lyn!

We think your swaps sound great and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed these, Jacqueline! :)
Best recipe! So easy. I use almond butter due to allergies.
We’re so glad you enjoy them!
These are chilling in the fridge right now! I swapped out coconut for sliced almonds, I can’t wait to taste them.
Awesome! We hope you love them! :)
