A bowl of no bake energy bites on a white table.

No-bake energy bites—energy balls, bliss balls, whatever you want to call them—are one of those snacks I know you love. And honestly, when they taste this good, the name really doesn’t matter. These are the kind of treats that disappear fast because they hit that sweet spot between satisfying and snackable.

They’re a total win because there’s no baking involved: just mix, roll, and you’re done. Toasted nuts, coconut, chewy oats, and a touch of maple syrup come together into an irresistible combo that feels indulgent without going overboard. They keep well on the counter for about a week and even longer in the freezer, making them perfect for easy snacking, lunchboxes (when nuts are allowed), after-school treats, or tossing into a bag for hikes and bike rides. And since they’re low in sugar, they’re the kind of snack you can feel good about reaching for again and again.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup toasted coconut
  • ½ cup almond butter (at room temperature (can sub peanut butter))
  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (can sub honey)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds, hemp hearts, or flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Instructions 

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Stir till everything is well combined then roll into 1 inch balls. That’s it! (almost too easy to be true)
    1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup toasted coconut, ½ cup almond butter, ½ cup chopped toasted pecans, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, hemp hearts, or flax seeds, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Let them chill for about an hour in your fridge before storing them. I put them all in a ziplock bag in the fridge and it worked perfect.

These taste really good. Love the toasted notes from the pecans and coconut. I did find them challenging to roll, though. Next time I will give them a quick blitz in the food processor. Thanks for a good recipe!

Try wetting your hands with a little water before you roll them. It helps prevent them from sticking. 🙂

Do you think Chia seeds will be an acceptable replacement for hemp hearts?

These would definitely be good with Chia seeds instead. That was actually what I was originally going to put in them until I looked in my pantry and realized I had run out 🙂
