Quick and easy, these healthy peanut butter bliss balls prove you don’t need a packet of biscuits to survive the 3pm slump. With just two simple steps, these no-bake peanut butter balls deliver the sweet treat you’re craving without the sugar crash — and yes, you can totally call them “protein-packed energy balls” if that makes you feel more virtuous while snacking.
Healthy Peanut Butter Bliss Balls (No-Bake Snack You’ll Actually Want to Eat)
My partner has a habit of demolishing an entire block of chocolate after dinner — and yes, sometimes it’s the one I secretly wanted. I usually beg him to buy the fruit-and-nut blocks because I’m not a fan, but when he comes home with something irresistible, that’s when I reach for these healthy peanut butter bliss balls in the fridge.
Chock-full of cashews and oats, these no-bake peanut butter balls are so filling that one or two is all you need (unless you’re trying to out-snack a chocoholic). I make them teaspoon-sized so the mix stretches a long way, perfect for a week’s worth of sweet fixes.
The secret ingredient? Lakanto Golden Malt Syrup, a natural sweetener made from monk fruit. It keeps the sugar low, but if you’re more of a “life’s short, pass the maple syrup” type, you can swap it in for a richer, caramel-like taste. Either way, these little energy balls will save you from late-night chocolate raids — and maybe even from your partner’s sweet tooth.
Why You’ll Love These Healthy Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

They’re the perfect no-bake peanut butter balls for a guilt-free snack, and honestly, you might want to make a double batch if the kids get a taste.
I’ve added a few twists to a Lakanto recipe to make these bliss balls even better, boosting the texture with almonds and oats. Double bonus — if you’re vegan, gluten-free, keto or low carb, these peanut butter energy balls tick all the right boxes.

Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup roasted cashews
- 1 cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling the balls in afterwards
- 3 tablespoons Lakanto Golden Malt Syrup or Maple Syrup
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean essence
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into the bowl of a food processer and blitz until the mixture starts to come together. You don’t want to mix it too much as it’s good to have texture in the balls.
- Roll teaspoon-sized balls of the mixture into lovely round shapes, and then roll again in the extra coconut.
Notes
You can substitute other nut butter if you prefer. Remember that the runnier the butter, the less you need to use; otherwise, your balls will be too soft.
You can eat them straight away or store them in the fridge for about five days (If they last that long).
Substitute maple syrup for the Lakanto if you don't mind the sugar
