No-Bake Energy Bites will help see you through the afternoon! They are easy to make, freeze well, and are loved by both kids and adults. Keep a batch on hand for whenever you need a little pick-me-up!

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.

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. 🙂
These were the perfect treat for myself and the kids. Thank you for the recipe!
You’re very welcome, Val!
These energy bites turned out really well. Thank you for the recipe!
That’s so great to hear, Sarah! So happy you liked them!!
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 🙂
