“Peanut butter; it just fills the cracks in the heart.”

Have you ever seen that meme? Kevin James is passionately & a bit sadly smearing his sliced bread with rivers and rivers of peanut butter. Like, who hasn’t needed peanut butter like that?

Whether you think chocolate, coconut or perhaps almond butter should replace “peanut butter” in that statement, you get the gist of the sentiment.

And, I mean, if you think of delicious peanut butter as the glue that holds everything together, then I’m RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. Just sayin’. 😉

Today’s no bake peanut butter coconut balls recipe is not only an ode to peanut butter, it’s THE way that we prove peanut butter and coconut go together. And how! Are you a fan of the coconut peanut butter combo?

In case you haven’t tried/aren’t sure about the whole peanut butter coconut thing, allow me to suggest: 4 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies, Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies and these No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Energy Bites.

How long do energy bites last in the fridge? How long do protein balls last in the fridge?

  • Whether you call these no bake peanut butter coconut balls “healthy energy bites” or “protein balls”, the fact remains: they last in the fridge for 2 weeks. You can keep the energy bites longer, they’ll just be firmer and drier as time goes on.

Can you freeze power balls?

  • Yes, with varying results. These coconut peanut butter balls can be frozen. Just make sure to thaw them before enjoying.

Are protein bites good for you?

  • Depends on the recipe. These peanut butter and coconut balls are the perfect gluten free protein balls because they’re packed with healthy ingredients and refined sugar-free.

Do you have peanut butter energy cookies or gluten free vegan protein-rich bars?

Yes! Try my 3 ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, 4 Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal Bars, Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Cookies, Healthy Coconut Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies.

Where do I find ground flaxseed?

  • Here’s a link to the golden ground flaxseed I used in this recipe.

So… did I convince you? Are you all about the peanut butter coconut balls now? Or are you still blushing at you know what and need me to call these energy bites instead. 😉 Teehee! You know I just love joking around with you… after all, what’s the point of these kitchen adventures if they’re not fun? 🙂 Thanks for joining me today—it’s truly an honor. ‘Til the next one…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Tools for No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Balls & Healthy Energy Bites

Click on the links below for the tools I used to make these no bake peanut butter coconut balls. I love using these tools to make all of my healthy energy bites recipes!

  • Ground Flaxseed: the flax not only helps bind these gluten free protein balls together, it’s got great health benefits too. 
  • Natural, Unsalted Peanut Butter: an essential (and delicious) ingredient for these peanut butter coconut balls.
  • Medium Cookie Scoop: a fantastic cookie scoop that makes rolling the dough into no bake balls a breeze!
  • Small Cookie Scoop: this smaller cookie scoop is great for portion control. 😉
  • Coconut Flakes: I love the way this coconut adds that extra bit of crunch to the no bake energy balls.

    Great recipe! I try to avoid grains (oats), so I substituted the oats in this recipe for a full cup of flaxseed meal, and added some chia seeds for additional nutrition and crunch; the batter still seemed a bit more “wet” than I’d like, so I added about 1/2 cup almond meal. Incredibly tasty, grain-free, and a lovely texture! Just enough sweetness to satisfy my sweet tooth without spiking insulin. Thanks so much for posting!

    Dear Demeter, I will join the army of lovers of these PB energy balls, these are really amazing! I added a bit of raisins to my batch, next time I might try adding a little bit of cinnamon too. I have specifically prepared them for our tomorrow!s train ride, but I wonder if they will last that long haha. Thanks again, this is a keeper!

        Hi Nicolette, that might work. Try adding in more oats or coconut until you reach the dryness/consistency you like. They *may* have an issue holding together, but I’m not certain since I haven’t tried it myself. Good luck!

      Hi Maria! I think it will work, but it might just be a bit thicker than expected. However, without the flax (which absorbs a lot of the moisture in this recipe), it might just work. I’m not 100% sure though, so go into it with an open mind–you might need to adjust to your liking. Can’t wait to hear how they turn out! 🙂

    Made these twice in the last two days!! So yummy, and perfect for my vegan friends. I used Earth Balance coconut peanut butter, because it’s what I had. And added 1/4 cup macadamia nuts instead of peanuts, again because it’s what I had on hand. They turned out fantastic! Everyone loved them. They remind me of the centers of my peanut butter bon bon cookies I make at Christmas, but without the chocolate coating. Hmmm… Thanks for the easy and yummy recipe!!

    I only have sweetened coconut. Think it will work to leave out the maple syrup since the coconut will be sweet? I’m not sure if the maple syrup is for sweetness, consistency, or both.

      Hi Kim, since you’re using sweetened coconut, you could start by leaving out 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup and replacing that with peanut butter. See how that combination works out and adjust as needed. The maple syrup adds a bit of stickiness as well as sweetness, so you don’t want to leave it completely out. 🙂 Hope this helps! 🙂

    These look like the perfect snack! Healthy and delicious. Ever since my son was born I have fell in love with peanut butter all over again. All he wants for lunch is peanut butter, LOL! I love the addition of coconut, and the raisins seem like it would be right up my alley! I am totally in love with this recipe! Cant wait to try this one out 🙂

    Can you use almond butter and almonds instead of peanuts and peanut butter?

      Hi Sally! I’m so excited that you’re going to make these. 🙂 As for the flaxseed: I’m not sure, I’ve never made this recipe without it. However, since you’re using Jif instead of natural, drippy peanut butter, it might just work out (since Jif is so much thicker and drier than natural PB). Again, I’ve never tried it before, so fingers crossed! As for subbing the maple syrup with honey: that will work just fine. Good luck & let me know how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by, Sally. 🙂

      Thank you so much, Stephanie. 🙂 I’ve never tried this recipe without the maple syrup. You might have some success with subbing the maple syrup with 1) honey or 2) more peanut butter. I’m not sure though. Let me know if you do try it and how it turns out. Thanks for stopping by, Stephanie. 🙂

    Yesssssss, peanut butter is my number one food. Like, if I could only bring one food to a desert island it would be peanut butter. I firmly believe that any food is made better with peanut butter. My home is never without peanut butter and on the off chance that I run out it is serious crisis mode. So, yes, I agree, PB mends the cracks in my heart 😉 And these peanut butter bites! I love them! I made the energy bites that have been floating around pinterest forever, but I love that these are like super peanut buttery. Must make ASAP. Pinning!

    Sooo… I’ve neither ever made homemade peanut butter nor eaten peanut butter and coconut together and all of those things are my jam. I definitely need to get on it! It really is impossible to eat peanut butter without feeling instantly better and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking a spoon to a jar and hiding in the closet until the cracks of your heart are filled. It’s not weird. I repeat. It’s not weird.

        Just realized that I forgot to pin these bad boys, I have since rectified that situation, because yes, these are absolutely happening in my house this weekend!! I think I have everything on hand but the flax… My four-year-old loves coconut (and peanut butter, but duh) and I think she’s going to go freaking nuts over these. I might even be able to convince my coconut-hating eldest to give them a shot, so I clearly I’ll have to make two batches so that I can have mine in the eating closet without interruption (or sharing, obviously) 😉

    Ha! Giiirl we are totally kindred spirits! My love of peanut butter and coconut runs DEEP. Like, I swear I bleed peanut butter and coconut.. and possibly salted caramel along with a million other things. But you feel me. 😉 These little bites of heaven are absolutely screaming my name and begging to be all up in my face. Love that they are no bake and easy peasy to throw together. Although these might be dangerous, because I can already foresee me shoveling these peanut buttery, crazy delicious coconutty beauties on repeat into my pie hole. Good thing I like to live on the edge. Pinned! Cheers to both you and peanut butter filling the cracks in my heart. 😉 <3

    Peanut butter is everyone’s love language, isn’t it!!! Followed closely by coconut. And I’m sure I don’t even have to tell you how “no-bake just makes me happy. How do you make something so delicious be so healthy too? Scrumptious. Of course, I’ll have to use natural p.b. but I’m getting used to it. I did a taste contest on Peanut Butter in college and held out 5 spoons of different types to see which was would be the favorite. Peter Pan won hands down, Ha!!! Go figure, with all that sugar in there. But oh so, yummy!!!
