3-Ingredient No-Bake PB2 Energy Balls Recipe

Looking for the perfect healthy energy bites for a quick on-the-go snack?

My recipe for these easy 3-ingredient PB2 oatmeal bites check all the boxes for a nutritious and convenient snack.

These no-bake energy bites are also vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and easily customizable.

Why PB2 Protein Balls Should Be Your New Go-To Snack

• The perfect portable snack for an on-the-go boost!
• Require no baking for an easy, no-fuss snack.
• Make a batch in 10 minutes or less using 3 ingredients.
• Perfect balance of protein, fiber, and micronutrients from oats and peanut butter to provide sustained energy.

Ingredients

Rolled Oats

Oats make a great base for many healthy energy oat bars, strawberry protein bars, and many other healthy snacks and desserts.

I have not tried this recipe with instant oats or steel cut oats. I would recommend sticking with rolled oats or old fashioned oats because they have the best texture for no-bake desserts.

Maple Syrup

Feel free to substitute any liquid sweetener of choice (honey, agave, date syrup).

PB2 Fit Powder

Also known as PB2 Pure Peanut Powder, PB2 Original Powdered Peanut Butter, PBFit powder, or peanut flour.

While I love traditional peanut butter, I do love using PB2 Powder (powdered peanut butter) in cooking because I find that powdered peanut butter blends right in with my other ingredients.

This makes dessert batters, including my protein mug cake recipe, blend smoothly without the oil separation issues caused by traditional peanut butter.

I also find that the peanut butter flavor is more pronounced in powdered peanut butter compared to traditional peanut butter, which I love.

If you are allergic to peanuts, you can use any nut or seed butter and omit the water in the recipe.

How to use powdered peanut butter instead of peanut butter?

To use powdered peanut butter instead of peanut butter in a recipe, simply replace the peanut butter using an equal measurement of powdered peanut butter.

Add water or milk to hydrate the peanut powder. Start with 1-2 tablespoons liquid per 1⁄4 cup powdered peanut butter and adjust to reach your desired consistency.

PB2 vs Peanut Butter Nutrition

Variations

• Customize with mix-ins like cacao nibs, coconut, chocolate chips.
• Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or other spices for flavor. Coat balls in shredded coconut, crushed nuts, granola or chocolate chips before chilling.
• Substitute maple syrup for honey, agave, or molasses.
• Add shredded dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, or apple.

Storage

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or freezer.

If you're storing them in the freezer, let them thaw in the refrigerator or on the countertop for a couple of minutes before enjoying.
