This recipe is sponsored by Sprouts Farmers Market, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Like many of you, I’m gearing up to start homeschooling this fall, but just because some things have changed doesn’t mean they all have to. It’s still so important to me to feed my family healthy, nutrient-rich foods, and these energy balls are both kid and grown-up approved! Made with wholesome oats, protein-packed peanut butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips, they are so delicious that my kids will never know they’re healthy, too!
What Makes This Recipe So Good
So easy to make and crazy delicious with rich oats, chocolate chips, and peanut butter, they’re perfect for the entire family.I love making these energy balls feel like a celebration by adding natural sprinkles on top.With healthy ingredients like oats for fiber, peanut butter for protein, nutrient-packed flax seeds, and antioxidant-rich honey, these energy balls are great for you, but taste like a treat!
Chef’s Tips
For a kids’ version, after you roll the dough into balls, either roll the balls into a small bowl filled with sprinkles or just sprinkle on. Kids love the extra color and feel like they’re eating funfetti! I used Watkins Sprinkles with no artificial dyes, available at Sprouts.Make these energy balls paleo by replacing the rolled oats with 2/3 cup almond flour and 1/3 cup coconut flour. Use almond butter instead of peanut butter.For vegan energy balls, use vegan chocolate chips and maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.I used a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop my dough into the perfect sized energy balls.
