People are completely obsessed with these chocolate chip energy balls!
I first created the recipe when my sister came to visit for a weekend, and we both quickly fell in love with the chewy texture of the addictive little snack balls.
In fact, we polished off an entire batch in under two days.
Unlike many other popular energy ball recipes, this one calls for no dates, no protein powder, no refined sugar, and there’s no oven required.

No bake energy ball flavors
Chocolate Chip: Include two tablespoons of mini chocolate chips in the recipe below.
Banana Bread: Replace up to half of the pure maple syrup or honey with an equal amount of ripe mashed banana. Sprinkle in a few tablespoons of finely diced walnuts.
Pecan Pie: Use pecan butter instead of peanut. For even more pecan flavor, stir in some toasted crushed pecans.
Nutella: For the nut butter, use store bought or Homemade Nutella, and press a sliced roasted hazelnut into the top of each energy bite.
Lemon: Swap the peanut butter for a neutral option like cashew butter or macadamia butter. Stir in the zest of one large lemon. This idea works with orange or lime zest too.
Dark Chocolate: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder or raw cacao powder. Increase the maple syrup to one third cup. Stir in the chocolate chips or a few cacao nibs.
