Quick and Easy No-Bake Energy Bars

January 16, 2021 By Gina Michak

New Year, new recipe, foodie friends! These quick and easy no-bake energy bars were a quick and easy way to get back into the kitchen, Lightning quick to put together, and a snap to shape.  You could roll them into balls too, but I have the cutest little silicone bar pan from my friend Kerry O’neill over at Tastefully Simple so I choose to turn mine into “bars” this time. 

I have to admit, for as much as I love baking up a storm in the kitchen, I also love a few days or even a week or so off from baking. Gasp! I said it! Even this baker gal needs a little time away from her mixer and oven!

These quick and easy no-bake energy bars are SO good… I had a hard time only eating one at a time. Confession… I didn’t. I enjoyed two as a post-workout snack and it was delightful!  Dare I say.. a sweet way to end a spin class????

Feel free to substitute other nut butter for the peanut butter, and you can also omit the chia, hemp, or flaxseeds.  I added both flaxseeds and flaxseed meals, but you don’t have to use the seeds. 

Ingredients No-Bake Energy Bites:

  • Rolled oats
  • Chocolate chips
  • Flaxseed meal
  • Peanut butter 
  • Organic maple syrup
  • Chia Seeds
  • Hemp seeds
  • Flax seeds

How to make no-bake energy bars:

Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. 

Roll or form into 1 inch balls using hands or scoop.

Pop them into the freezer till they set. about 1 hour. 

Store in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze. Let them come to room temperature before eating.
