This gluten free chocolate peanut butter no bake energy balls recipe requires simple ingredients. Easy to make and great as a healthy snack/ dessert.
I first started making these QUICK and EASY chocolate peanut butter no bake energy balls when I was in college.
Between spending my days in classes, labs, work and commuting everywhere, I had to keep my energy up and these energy bites did that for me.
Now, I have a very active toddler and I still rely on these chocolate peanut butter energy balls to keep up with him...lol.
They are made by mixing together coconut, oats, pistachios, peanut butter, flaxseed, and honey.
All those ingredients come together in the most DELICIOUS little CHEWY bites that are packed with strong peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
