Are These Peanut Butter Energy Balls No-Bake?
Yes, these 5-ingredient peanut butter energy balls are no-bake and easy to make with ingredients you probably have on hand, like oats and peanut butter. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl, stir well and roll the mixture into balls.
Can I Swap in a Different Nut Butter?
Of course! Make sure you use a nut butter labeled "natural" and confirm that the ingredients are just nuts and salt (or no salt). Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins—for example, dried fruit or chopped nuts—in place of the chocolate chips and coconut.
