No Bake Oatmeal Energy Bites

No Bake Oatmeal Energy Bites-4Raise your hand if you can relate to this…It’s 3pm, you’re STARVING, so you open the fridge (100 times), of course there’s NOTHING to eat even though there’s a fridge full of food. You head on over to the pantry, open and close it 50 times, but of course there’s nothing in there either. You go back and forth for about 5-10 minutes, all the while becoming increasingly more frustrated and even hungrier! So you cave, and go for a giant box of crackers with some cheese, the leftover cake on the counter, or a pre-packaged “protein” bar because it’s the fastest way to shove something in your mouth.

Who’s with me???

No Bake Oatmeal Energy Bites-3Well, move on over prepackaged snacks! I’ve got a quick and easy energy snack that’s gonna cure that late afternoon slump. If you have 5 minutes, you can make these. And they’ll last all week, or longer!

No Bake Oatmeal Energy BitesI made you balls! Energy balls! They’re easy and delicious to pull together, and you’ll only have to open the fridge one time!

No Bake Oatmeal Energy Bites-2They’re packed with oats, almond butter, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and even a little dark chocolate of course. And all it takes it one to satisfy that sweet, salty, midday snack craving.

No Bake Oatmeal Energy Bites-5I love these because they’re so versatile. You can play around with flavors you life to create your personal favorite snack bite.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons fig jam
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3 teaspoons hemp seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1) In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, coconut flakes, oats, and fig jam until well combined. Add in the chia seeds, hemp seeds, vanilla, and chocolate chips. You may need to use your hands to mix together. If mixture is too dry you can add a little more almond butter to help it stick together. If it’s too wet, add a little more oats.
  2. 2) Form mixture into 12 balls and place in an airtight container. You can store these in the fridge for up to one week, or the freezer for one month.

    I was just wondering, how many oatmeal balls are considered to be one serving, and how many calories are in that serving? (Assuming I follow the recipe exactly.)

      They are only meant to be a snack, so just one. I don’t have a calorie count exactly, but there are lots of free tools online to figure it out if you want!

    I just made them this morning and it taste beautifully. And before tasting them, it smells wonderfully. I love your recipes. I’ve made a few other ones of your recipes and I can’t wait for your next ingenious creative meals. ????

    And how much fat there is in one ball

      Unfortunately I don’t have this information. There are many online calorie counters that you can type in the ingredients to find out!

      You can leave them out, or add extra chia seeds!

    I cant wait to try these. FYI these are 5 Smart Points on Weight Watchers WITH the dark chocolate chips included. They would be 4 Smart Points without it.

    I made up a batch yesterday and they were awesome!!! 🙂 I used a round tablespoon and pressed the mixture against the side of the bowl to pack it into the spoon. So each ball I made is exactly one tablespoon and it’s easier if you get a small bowl of hot water to dip the spoon in to keep the mixture from sticking. I got 15 balls this way and according to My Fitness pal and the ingredients I used I came up with 85 calories 5.3 grams of fat 7.4 carbs and 2.9 grams of protein.
