Peanut Butter Coffee Energy Balls
A no-bake, protein-packed snack loaded with peanut butter, coffee, and dates. Perfect for energy without processed fillers.
Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy, because chunky ruins the texture
- ¾ cup dates pitted, unless you enjoy unexpected crunch
- 2 tbsp coffee ground, because liquid coffee won’t work
- ½ cup oats for extra fiber and texture
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder because peanut butter + chocolate = perfection
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional but worth it
- Pinch of salt because contrast makes flavors pop
Instructions
- Toss oats into a blender and pulse until finely ground.
- Add dates, coffee, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Blend until the mixture sticks together.
- Scoop out portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. If they’re too sticky, chill for 10 minutes.
- Let them firm up in the fridge for at least 20 minutes—if you have patience.
- Eat, enjoy, and question why you ever wasted money on store-bought snacks.
