No-Bake Energy Balls

I’ve been a fan of No-Bake Energy Balls for years. I make these no-bake energy balls just about every week. They’re made with only 5 ingredients and include so many delicious and sweet flavors.

This recipe is also vegan and gluten-free, packed with only good-for-you ingredients. It is literally the perfect healthy snack!

Ingredients Overview

Medjool dates: They sweeten these healthy energy balls naturally. If your dates aren’t soft, soak them in warm water for 10-20 minutes before you make the balls.

Shredded coconut or desiccated coconut: Unsweetened shredded coconut, or my personal preference desiccated coconut. Desiccated coconut is grounded and has a moist texture.

Tahini: Made with 100% sesame seeds ground into a paste. Tahini here adds a satisfying richness and a gentle, nutty, savory taste that pairs so well with chocolate.

Almonds: They add healthy fats and a nice crunch. You can absolutely use other nuts like pecans or walnuts.
