Chocolate Oats Balls Recipe

Is there anything better than a healthy chocolate snack waiting for you in the fridge? Not if you ask me! These easy and delicious Chocolate Oat Balls are packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, peanut butter, and flaxseed. A perfect no-bake snack for a quick energy boost or a healthy treat! They’re packed with protein without adding protein powder—just natural goodness from peanut and almond butter. If you're allergic to peanuts, you can swap the peanut butter for almond butter. To make these snack bites even healthier, add flaxseed—a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health. I love using flaxseeds—they're also a fantastic addition to my Easy Homemade Granola Clusters.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp almond butter
1/8 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp flaxseed (ground or whole)
2 dates, 2-3 pitted and finely chopped
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil (for the chocolate coating)

Instructions

1
If you're using whole oats, grind them in a food processor first.
2
Mix the oats, peanut butter, almond butter, agave syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, chopped dates, salt, and flaxseed in a large bowl. Stir until everything is well combined into a sticky mixture.
3
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into small balls. You should get about 12-15 balls.
4
In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it on the stove.
5
Dip each oat ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated balls onto a parchment-lined tray.
6
Place the chocolate-coated oat balls in the fridge for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
7
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
