Vegan Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
🌱 Vegan Chocolate Chip Energy Balls 🍪
These Vegan Chocolate Chip Energy Balls are no-bake bites of oats, peanut butter, coconut, and mini chocolate chips. No eggs. No dairy. They hold together after a short chill and taste like cookie dough you can pack in a bag.
I love rolling them while the mix is still a little sticky. If it crumbles, it needs another spoon of peanut butter, not more oats. The chips go in last so they don’t melt into the dough. 💚

The Secret to Balls That Don’t Crumble
Use creamy peanut butter, not the dry natural kind that separates into a brick. Chill 20 minutes before you roll if the mix feels soft. Wet hands keep them round. A few chips pressed on the outside make them look finished.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I skip the peanut butter? 🥜
Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter the same way.
Do they need to be refrigerated? 🧊
Yes. Fridge 1 week, freezer 2 months. They soften at room temp.
Can I add protein powder? 💪
Yes. Add 2 tablespoons and a splash of plant milk if the mix gets dry.
