Powerball Cookies are a healthy, real-food, no bake snack cookie. Careful, it's hard to stop at just one!
Servings: 35 cookies
Calories: 155kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter sub: almond butter or sunbutter
- 1 cup honey You can cut this back a bit, if you'd like.
- 3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats I prefer quick.
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips sub: 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup any combination of these add-ins: unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped nuts (i.e. chopped pecans, sliced almonds, etc), chia seeds, soft dried fruits (i.e. raisins, dried cranberries, etc)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey until smooth. (Tip: You may want to warm them in the microwave first to make this step easier.)
- Stir in oats and flaxseed. Add the chocolate chips and your 1 cup of preferred add-ins. Stir until well combined.
- Using wet hands or a wet cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 30-35 balls. Use a heaping tablespoon of mixture per cookie. Store in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer using the directions below.

Notes
- My personal go-to cookie mix is simple--peanut butter, honey, quick oats, flax, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. That's the perfect combo in my opinion but feel free to experiment!
- Crunchy peanut butter is yummy also!
- I often cut the honey back to 3/4 cup and make up the 1/4 cup with more nut butter
