No Bake Raw Healthy Vegan Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 0 min

Ready in: 20 min

Yield: 20-25 1″ balls

 

Ingredients

  • 250 grams natural peanut butter (we like chunky but smooth works too, be sure to choose one that is a natural peanut butter as it will contain less added salt, sugar or hydrogenated oils).
  • 80 grams honey (agave or maple syrup can be used for a vegan version
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 150 grams rolled oats
  • 50 grams of chopped, roasted hazelnuts
  • 50 grams of cacao nibs

 

 

These energy bites are so simple to make!

Mix all your dry ingredients together in a bowl, then add the wet ingredients.

Once all the ingredients have been thoroughly mixed refrigerate for 10-15 minutes (this will help determine the consistency).

Shape into balls with a diameter of about an inch.

Depending on the type of peanut butter you use, you may need to add more honey or peanut butter to help the energy bites come together. If the mixture seems very dry you can also add a little water.

Feel free to play around with the ingredients until you get the consistency/flavours that you prefer.  You can try different nut butters, shredded coconut, dried fruits, seeds etc. The flavour combinations are endless…have fun with it!

These peanut butter energy bites will keep for about a week in the fridge in a sealed container.

We had a great turnout at our talk in Listowel Family Resource Centre yesterday, about the effects of diet on our health. We covered many topics and got some great feedback from those who attended.
