Monster cookie energy balls
A No-Bake Treat That’s Kid-Approved and Mom-Loved 🍪✨
If you're anything like me, you're always on the hunt for snacks that strike the perfect balance between fun and functional. Enter: Monster Cookie Energy Balls. These little bites are packed with wholesome oats, creamy peanut butter, and just enough chocolatey goodness to make them feel like a treat—without the sugar crash.
They’re ridiculously easy to make, require zero baking, and best of all? They’re kiddo-approved. My little one couldn’t resist sneaking a taste before we even rolled them into balls (and honestly, I don’t blame her) and even my picky hubby has snuck more than me!
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy—your call!)
¼ cup honey
½ cup mini M&Ms + chocolate chips (I do a half-and-half mix for extra fun)
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, stir together oats, peanut butter, honey, and your chocolate mix-ins until well combined.
Let your tiny kitchen assistant sneak a spoonful—because sampling is half the fun.
Roll the mixture into 15 bite-sized balls.
Pop them in the fridge for about an hour to firm up.

These energy balls are perfect for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or a quick bite between Zoom calls. They store beautifully in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long), and you can even freeze them for future snack emergencies.
Whether you're making them for your kids or just for yourself, these monster cookie bites are a sweet little reminder that snacks can be both joyful and nourishing.
