Print Recipe

These Easy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Energy Balls are the perfect no-bake snack made with just peanut butter, honey, and oats. They’re chewy, satisfying, and ready in minutes for a healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (standard shelf-stable like Jif or Skippy recommended)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/2 cup honey. Stir with a rubber spatula until completely smooth and well-combined, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats to the bowl. Stir until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture forms a thick, cohesive dough with no dry patches.
  3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb moisture for better texture.
  4. Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough. Lightly wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 18 to 20 balls.
  5. Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes to firm up the balls. They will be soft but hold their shape. For a quicker set, freeze for 15 minutes.

Notes

For best results, use standard creamy peanut butter (not natural or runny) to avoid greasy balls. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes before rolling to improve texture. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking when rolling. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Add-ins like mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or cinnamon can be mixed in for variation.
