reese's pieces energy balls (low sugar & no bake)
These Reese's Pieces energy balls pack oats, peanut butter, and mini Reese's Pieces into a no-bake snack that satisfies a candy craving with less than 2.5g of added sugar per ball. Ready in 15 minutes and easy to make with kids.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp corn syrup
- 2 tbsp pysllium or ground flax seed
- 2 tbsp whey isolate optional
- 3 tbsp mini Reese’s Pieces
Instructions
By hand:
- Add all ingredients (except the water) to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out and form into a ball. Don't try to squish the dough too hard with your hands. The recipe is light on the sticky syrup so you need to gently coax them into a ball shape. Now is not the time to be a perfectionist in making the spheres!
- Add water, 1 tsp at a time, if the mixture is too crumbly to stick together at all.
- Allow to firm up in the fridge.
With food processor:
- Measure the oats into the food processor and turn on high. Process until oats are nearly a flour consistency.
- Add the rest of ingredients to a bowl (except the water) and stir to combine.
