Ingredients

¾ cup white chocolate peanut butter
¼ cup honey
½ cup + 2 tablespoons rolled oats (or 3/8 cup if measuring precisely)
¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓ cup diced dried dates
¼ cup hemp seeds
1 teaspoon maple cinnamon

Energy balls on a plate with bowls of dates, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut on a marble surface.

Line a plate with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to stir until a sticky dough forms (don’t worry, sticky is normal!).
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on the lined plate, leaving space so they don’t stick together.
Transfer the plate to the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or until the bites are firm.
Enjoy immediately, then store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh and firm
P.S. Keep your no-bake energy bites stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh, firm, and delicious for up to one week. You can also freeze them for longer storage, just thaw a few bites in the fridge before enjoying.
