Magic Peanut Butter Energy Balls
Magic peanut butter energy balls are deliciously soft and easy to bite into, even when frozen. I’ve had a lot of energy balls, but these are the all-time winners. Oddly enough, I created this energy ball one day when I thought, “I wonder what my two favorite recipes would be like combined?”

Since this is now my all-time favorite energy ball, I haven’t substituted any ingredients or altered amounts. Still, you could certainly substitute sunflower seed butter for a nut-free ball.
For a vegan magic peanut butter energy ball, replace the honey with pure maple syrup.
To make magic peanut butter energy balls, you will need these ingredients:
- Peanut Butter ~ Regular (like Jiff) and natural peanut butter (like Adams that requires stirring). I use both types in this recipe
- Honey
- Pure maple syrup
- Vanilla
- Unsweetened coconut
- Old-fashioned oats ~ gluten-free oats if needed
- Quick cooking oats ~ gluten-free if needed
- Corn flakes ~ I used a gluten-free low/no sugar cereal.
- Corn chex cereal
- Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ I used Enjoy Life Allergy-Friendly
- Optional Allergy-friendly candy-coated chocolate candies or M&M’s.
This recipe makes a large batch of energy balls, about 42-45. I prefer to make bigger batches less often. These should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Try these chewy, good SunButter no-bake granola clusters, too.
Enjoy!
