These are my favorite, easy, go-to snack. Who doesn’t love a good no bake recipe? They literally take 5 minutes to make and I just keep them in the refrigerator. I’ve made these with peanut butter (you can see my Peanut Butter Oat Flax Bites), cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, cranberries, diced nuts…the possibilities are endless. But I love the taste of almond butter. These are perfect for pre or post-workout, afternoon snack or treat for your kids’ lunch boxes. I almost consider them like a cookie or dessert, they are delicious. But unlike other cookie recipes, these are quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry old-fashioned oats (can use gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips can use dairy-free
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1 tsp. organic vanilla
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Roll into 1 inch balls and place in air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

These are perfect healthy snacks to have in your refrigerator ALL THE TIME! Especially during the holidays when there are so many unhealthy treats around. Thanks for stopping by~
Thank you! These are delicious. I was only able to squeak out about 27 balls! I made them about walnut size.
Still good!
That’s great Angela! Even more portioned-controlled! 🙂
Lauren: It would be great if you could also include the nutrition facts on these great-looking almond balls. Thanks!
Hi Shelly! I apologize, I am just seeing this now. I just added the nutrition information. Thanks so much!
These look absolutely delicious! I could imagine myself devouring the whole bowl with a nice cup of hot chocolate 🙂
YES! That sounds wonderful 🙂
