My kids love helping me whip up these energizing no bake peanut butter oatmeal balls with almond flour, honey, flax and cinnamon. Loaded with healthy fats, 5g protein, and fiber to keep little (and big) bellies full and happy. Simply mix in a bowl for the perfect texture–no food processor required! I like that a batch makes over 20 balls, so they’ll last all week long.
Energy bites are my lifeline not only cuz I live for a one bowl snack situation, but mostly because my kids slam these for breakfast. Win!
Now I’m in the predicament of mornings being tantrum city if I don’t have a batch waiting in the frodge. The nerve! Luckily these come togteher in a jiffy and my toddlers LOVE helping me make them.
Plus, just like my frozen chocolate covered PB oat balls and lower sugar PB chia balls, they rely on pantry staples (hallelujah!)/ If you’re like me, you wouldn’t be caught dead without a hugh jass jar of PB, oats, honey and flax in the cabinet. You get me!
Let’s make ’em
What’s sets these apart
- Almond flour: I developed this recipe specifically with almond flour versus adding more oats because it makes everything taste like cake, plus it adds a protein boost so they’re filling. Most recipes for pb oatmeal balls don’t call for this!
- Cinnamon: I thoughts the versions with cinnamon tasted way better than without! Kinda like cinnamon Teddy Grahams vibes?! Yessss.
- Vanilla: A splash of vanilla adds dimension here. I realized during recipe testing that without it, the taste falls a bit flat for me. Not optional, IMO!
Storage
Love these right out of the fridge or even the freezer. They’ll last a week or longer (and 3 months frozen!)
Nourishing snack, protein-packed breakfast, post-dinner treat with chocolate chippies…bases are all covered!

Instructions
- Place oats, almond flour, flax, optional collagen, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and 1 tbsp milk. Use a wooden spoon (or your hands!) to fully combine. Add another 1 tbsp milk if needed to moisten. You can also stir in ¼ cup mini chocolate chips!
- Roll into 22-24 bites. Store in the fridge!
Notes
Chocolate version: You can easily give these a chocolate vibe! Simply cut down oats to 1 ¾ cups and add ¼ cup cacao powder.
*I like these with ½ tsp salt but I love salt!
