No-Bake Brownie Energy Balls

These are no-bake, nut-free brownie energy balls made with oats, dates, cocoa, and sunflower seed butter for a quick sweet snack with fiber, healthy fats, and steady energy. This recipe makes around 16 to 18 energy balls and takes about 30 minutes in total!

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup pitted Medjool dates, packed
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sunflower seed butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 to 2 tablespoons water, only if needed
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
2 tablespoons hemp hearts, optional for extra protein

Instructions

  1. Add the oats, dates, cocoa powder, sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, flaxseed, vanilla, and sea salt to a food processor.
  2. Pulse until the mixture looks crumbly but starts to stick together when pressed between your fingers.
  3. If the mixture feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it holds together.
  4. Stir in mini chocolate chips and hemp hearts if using.
  5. Roll into 1-inch balls.
  6. Place on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Easy Add-Ins (Optional)

For more protein: add 1 scoop chocolate protein powder and 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of water.
For more fiber: add an extra tablespoon of chia or flax.
For a richer brownie flavor: add 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder.
For coconut flavor: roll the balls in unsweetened shredded coconut.
