These no-bake energy balls combine mashed ripe banana with peanut butter and rolled oats for a soft, chewy texture and a lightly sweet, nutty flavor. They come together in one bowl with no cooking required, making them a quick snack for lunchboxes, pre-workout fuel, or a quick breakfast on busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth.

  2. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and stir until well combined.

  3. Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until the oats are evenly moistened and the mixture holds together.

  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.

  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll between your palms into a 1-inch ball; repeat with remaining mixture to form about 18 balls.

  7. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
