Ingredients for this recipe
To make these peanut butter energy balls, you will need:
- Peanut butter: Your peanut butter should be at room temperature to make sure it is super soft.
- Agave syrup: Use agave syrup to add the perfect amount of sweetness to your energy balls. If you don’t have agave syrup, you can also use date syrup or honey for a non-vegan version.
- Oat flour: Oat flour helps combining all the ingredients. You can substitute oat flour for vanilla or chocolate protein powder for an extra boost of protein.
- Rolled oats: You will need just a small quantity of rolled oats to add some texture to the energy balls.
- Chocolate chips: You can use dark chocolate chips for a healthier version. If you don’t have chocolate chips on hand, chop your favorite chocolate bar, and use chocolate chunks.

Add the peanut butter, agave syrup, oat flour, and rolled oats into a food processor and pulse until combined. Next, add the chocolate chips and pulse again.
Then, roll the mixture into small balls. Place them on an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
