These No-Bake Energy Bites are fudgy, chewy, perfectly sweet and super satisfying! They're easy to make, come together in one bowl, take only 15 minutes to make and require just 4 ingredients. They're vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free too. Perfect for meal prep!

How to make this recipe

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

  • Place all the ingredients in a glass mixing bowl.

  • Mix well.

Tip: Place in the fridge for 20 minutes so that it firms up - this will make it much easier to roll into balls.

  • Use your hands to roll the mixture into little balls - you should be able to make 15.

How long do these keep for?

These keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a good few days.

Can these be frozen?

Yes, they keep in the freezer for up to one month - leave to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating.

Substitutions you can make

  • The peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • The agave syrup can be replaced with brown rice syrup or date syrup (I wouldn't recommend maple syrup as it's too liquidy).
  • You can add dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
  • You can add cocoa powder or matcha powder.

Can you bake these?

Yes! You can bake these in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 12-15 minutes.

    Question for Rhian: What are your thoughts about substituting almond better for peanut and honey for agave?
