These vegan energy balls are full of fiber and protein to help get you through the day or to the next meal. They are healthy, sticky, and sweet which means everyone is going to love them, even the kids!
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined. The mixture should be sticky but not wet.
Add more nut butter or honey if the mixture is too dry and more oats if the mixture is too wet. Once it is mixed thoroughly, roll into balls. I make mine about the size of a ping pong ball because they’re bite size!
Ball-shaped is a super convenient way to eat, store, and take them on-the-go. But no fear that’s not the only way to enjoy them; you still have options!
To save time and not have to roll the balls, you can also press the mixture into a parchment-covered baking dish, chill it for about 30 minutes, and then cut them into energy bars.

Notes
VariationsThese power energy balls are delicious as is, but you can always add in other ingredients like vegan chocolate chips, unsweetened shredded coconut, an endless variety of nut butters, dried fruit, nuts, and seeds.Other nut kinds of nut butter might include peanut butter or cashew butter. Really, it just depends on your preference.StorageI store my energy balls in a plastic container and layer them with parchment paper between the layers. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage. Haven’t had to freeze any here yet, they don’t make it that long!About the ChefDrenda-Michell Brennan joined EatPlant-Based in January 2023 as a recipe developer and has continued to expand her skills into photography, SEO, technical assistance, and writing.
