No Bake Energy Bites Recipe (Kid Approved!)

May 29, 2019 by Nicole 6 Comments

My kids love to snack. I am always on the lookout for nutritious snack ideas my kids will actually want to eat. This peanut butter and chocolate No Bake Energy Bites Recipe was an instant hit at my house. Between the kids, my husband and myself, we snarfed all the energy bites down so fast my kids were asking me to make more the very next day!

No Bake Energy Bites Recipe

No problem — no bake energy balls are easy to make. They are packed with protein from peanut butter, oats and ground flax seed. (I love using ground flaxseed, it adds so many nutrients and the kids never suspect a thing!) They also have yummy toasted coconut flakes, and are sweetened with real honey.

Yes, there are a few chocolate chips tossed in there. You can leave them out if you want chocolate-free peanut butter protein bites. Either way, this no bake energy bites recipe is a keeper. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Recipe Notes

How To Toast Coconut Flakes: Place a thin layer of coconut flakes on a baking sheet in a 325 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Toasting coconut flakes really brings out the coconut flavor. Allow them to cool completely before using in the energy balls recipe.

    This energy bite recipe looks fantastic! I’m really not a fan of coconut, though. Is there something that you think I could sub for the coconut flakes, or could I leave it out and still have success?
    Just read another post of yours that came up on a google search for water guns. Your blog is really fun!

      Hi Sarah! Thanks for stopping by and for all your sweet comments! 🙂 As for the energy bites, you could probably just leave out the coconut and add a more of the oats. I haven’t ever tried it though, so I don’t know an exact measurement of oats to add in place of the coconut, but probably about the same (2/3 cups). Have a great weekend! –Nicole
