No Bake Oatmeal Energy Balls

All you need are a few measuring cups, a mixing bowl and a couple of ingredients to make these energy bites.

What you need to make no-bake oatmeal energy balls

Rolled Oats: The base of this recipe, the oats

Nut Butter: Try peanut butter or almond butter in this recipe. Either works great! Other nut butters could work too so you can test out your favourite too.

Maple Syrup: Just like the nut butter, the maple syrup acts as a binder to keep all of the ingredients together.

Walnuts: Chopped walnuts add a bit of crunch and are another source of healthy fats.

Shredded Coconut: A delicious mix-in to these energy balls. Head to the recipe notes for other mix-in ideas too.

Chopped Dates: Most energy ball recipes are made with dates but I’ve made things easier by just adding chopped dates to this mix.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon goes soooo well with oats and adds delicious flavour to this bites.
