These no-bake peanut butter, honey and cinnamon energy balls are super simple to make (no baking!). They’re delicious, packed with whole food nutrients, and perfect for a quick snack at home or on-the-go.
We spend so much time outside during the fall (yaaaaay, Cool Weather Texas!). These energy bites are perfect to pack up for a busy day (or to stock your freezer). I like to take them with me on my “horse day” – some days I volunteer at a local therapeutic riding center and then visit my hore on the way home.
Peanut Butter, Honey, and Cinnamon Energy Balls
You’ll find lots of ways to enjoy these yummy little balls of deliciousness, too. I swear they taste like cookies!
Yields: 12 balls
Ingredients
- old fashioned rolled oats
- flaxseed
- peanut butter
- honey
- salt
- cinnamon
In a food processor, blend the oats and flaxseed.
In a medium bowl, mix the blended oats/flaxseed with the peanut butter, honey, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until all of the ingredients are well-mixed. If the batter feels runny (sometimes natural peanut butter can be oily!), stick it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
Put wax paper on a baking sheet. Roll the batter into 12 balls, about 1″ each.
You can eat them right away, but I prefer to stick them in the freezer for about an hour. Once cold, I place them in a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer until I’m ready to eat them. Which is basically all the time.
And y’all, these thing are delicious! They taste kind of like cookies.
I toss some of these in a cooler with a bottle of tea and I’m ready for an afternoon at the barn!

I’m very intersted in making these but would love to know if you have any nutrition facts. Especially serving size and calories. Thanks!
You will get twelve balls from the recipe, and serving size it 2 balls. 🙂 I *don’t* have nutrition information for it (sorry…getting nutritional info on all of my recipes is on my to do list, though!), but there’s a website called HappyForks.com that I sometimes use to get the nutritional info. Hope that helps a bit!
I am looking for nutrition information on these also. What about dipping these in dark chocolate ?
I don’t have the nutritional info for them, but I use a website called HappyForks.com – you can plug in a recipe and get it there. I need to add it to my posts, I just haven’t got to it yet! 🙂 And OMG YES to the chocolate.
I make these often and I add dark choc chips, and seeds. You could also roll them in cocoa…crushed nuts…coconut! Add dried fruits chopped up too…delicious!
What kind of seeds do you add? And to rolling them in cocoa or nuts…sounds amazing!!
Thank you for posting the picture of your horse! That speaks volumes of your heart…with food and your passion! 😉😁
He is so special to me!! <3
I am going to try to make them, is it ok to use walnuts or almonds??
Yes, defintely! Those would be a great addition. I would cut them up into tiny little pieces.
What are the container counts for 21 day fix?
I would count 2-3 as a treat swap! 🙂
what is the container count on the energy ball?
I count two as a treat swap!
im.getting ready to make these just because I’m tired of buying kresteez mix. I am going to add Chia seed in this as well. I will let you know how they turn out.
I bet the chia will be great!
What kind of peanut butter do you use
