Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over dry ingredients and mix until evenly combined.

These energy balls are good for kids’ lunches or snacks on the way to school or at home.

Chill mixture for 20-40 minutes. Press 2 tablespoons of mixture together into small balls and store in a covered glass container. (Or you can cut into bars — your choice!)

You can also make different types of these — sweet and salty, or caramel, etc. It’s fun to play around with and is healthy for kids! Also works for different allergies and school parties, and is vegan/vegetarian.

Chill energy balls/bars for 30 minutes, then enjoy.
