No-Bake, {Gluten-Free} Energy Balls

These balls are fabulous for kids, gluten free + healthy! They will definitely add an extra kick to your day!

They are packed full of energy-filled goodness {and then some other goodness that might not give you energy, but will definitely taste delicious}.

I chose to make my version with peanut butter, but these could be made with whatever butter you prefer {almond, hazelnut, or whatever your diet allows}. They would be the perfect addition to any hiking or biking trip, a trip to the beach or even the mall. Whenever you opt to eat them, beware: they are highly addictive. Kids will go crazy {and grown-ups too}! They are a great recipe to make with your kids as well, and not a lot of clean up.

Gather all of the ingredients.

In a large bowl mix together: 1 cup of gluten free oats, 1 cup of toasted coconut flakes, 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of ground flax seed, 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1/3 cup of honey. Mix until all of the ingredients are blended well.

Refrigerate batter for at least a 1/2 hour. Scoop the batter into balls. I chose to use a 1″ ice cream/cookie scoop, but you can always eyeball.

Best served chilled.

Happy No-Baking!!

I made these with my son's transitional kindergarten class for Valentine's day and they were a HUGE hit! We substituted almond butter because of a peanut allergy. All the children participated and loved the delicious healthy snack they made. These energy balls are great.
