5-Ingredient No-Bake Cookie Energy Bites

Somehow I ended up on this recipe page and immediately felt the need to make these energy bites. I’m so glad I did! What a delightful treat with a perfect balance of flavours. My mixture was a little bit dry initially, but after adding some date syrup to add more moisture, they held together well. They made a wonderful gift and were incredibly easily to make. Thank you team

Hey there! It’s me again haha. Just wanted to say that I’ve made this recipe a few times now and today I froze the dough until quite firm and shaped it into a log. Then, I rolled it in a mix of ground walnuts and chocolate sprinkles, and finally, cut it into little pieces (they look like gnocchi). Oh my! I’ll be making this recipe until the day I die, thank you once again :) <3

I made these yesterday but I made them a little smaller. I followed the recipe to a T and they were incredible. Rolled half in shredded coconut and the other half in chocolate sprinkles… they taste so decadent and rich (also by themselves, ofc) you could never imagine they’re on the healthier side of the force!

I was looking for a quick dessert. This recipe was so easy. I added a tbs of maple syrup to make it hold together. Very tasty!

Just the right amount of sweet. Made these before and they were gone fast, making them again today to take camping for when the sweet tooth hits!

Just the right amount of sweetness, yum

I can’t believe how quickly these come together…that being said, be warned that they disappear equally as fast, because that’s how good they are! This recipe also served as my introduction to the “naturally sweet” powers of dates. Very good.

Super easy and so delicious! I made these exactly as directed and they came out wonderfully. Can’t wait to eat more tomorrow!

Great recipe! I used half dates and half prunes and they came out very tasty! Thanks for all your hard work in testing and posting recipes. Greatly appreciated!

I made this today. Super easy and so delicious! Thank you! My sister and I plan to make a ton of them and freeze them.

Wow these were so easy and so delicious! I have to keep stopping myself from eating them all at once.

Absolutely delicious!!

Gorgeous!! I added linen seeds and cajou nuts, just a spoonful, and I did a mix of figues and dates because I didn’t have enough of them. Absolutely delicious, I did them smaller and had about 20 of them. Thanks for this great recipe!

Just made these and they are AMAZING!!
So easy .. So Healthy .. So delicious…..
Much more flavor that I expected..They are not going to last very long..

These are excellent! I added a few more dates and about 2 Tbsp. of water to get the batter to stick together better. I also used carob powder instead of cacao. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Dana
Love your recipes!
I’ve made these a few times and they are fantastic “picker uppers” ( if that’s a word!)
I’m wondering if you can sub dates for prunes?
Or even 1/2:1/2…
Thanks
Deb

Made as posted, ran out of dates and added one teaspoon of maple syrup for a bit more moisture due to dates. Was so good thanks for always sharing these great recipes.

I made these for the first time and was surprised by how easy and delicious they were. I couldn’t get my hands on medjool dates so I used delget dates instead. It *did* impact the texture and it was a little dry so I added a splash of non dairy milk after I had blended the mixture and could see it was dry. Be careful to not add too much liquid. I also had a large box of quick oats instead of rolled which I used instead and it was fine. Probably not the same texture wise but still good!

At the end I rolled them in hemp seeds just for fun!! I will be making these again !

these are so simple and so perfect. in my second batch i was low on oats so added hemp seeds and they turned out delish. now i’m turning to some peanut butter fudge. look out! 💕💕

These are amazing and so easy to make. I used a normal blender and it worked perfectly.

These bites are incredible! I’ve never liked the taste of dates, but the cocoa powder and peanut butter completely masked them! Will definitely be making again.

Quick and easy way to get some all natural energy into your kids before a soccer game. My 6 year old downed 6! (Sort of a big mistake bc he was on fire for energy but also on fibre fire after☺️. Oh well… He was “fiber fueled”!)

Loved these. A healthier version of the classic no-bakes that my mom used to make, and very very tasty! I will probably be making these again soon!

These remind me of snicker bars! I added in some unsalted peanuts and really liked it :)

I made these for a camping trip and the whole group loved them. They came together super quickly the morning of the trip too, very easy. The mixture was initially a bit dry but rather than more pb or dates I added a splash of maple syrup. I rolled them all in shredded coconut after too for fun.

great recipe. I make so many of these power bars I put them in a 8 by 8 glass baking dish with lid and store in the fridge and cut out squares as I want them. Way easier than rolling out a bunch of balls.

Wow! Powerfully delicious :) I love your recipes so much! Thank you for what you do!!! <3

Perfect texture, perfect taste, super easy!

Great instructions and great snack! I didn’t have regular cocoa powder so I used instead a adaptogenic blend of maca, ashwaganda and cocoa powder (it’s Pukka Organic Latte – Cacao Maca Majesty mix, which has cinnamon and some other spices) – delicious! These are perfectly satisfying. Usually I could eat sweets til I’ve overdone it, and I’m finding I can enjoy just one of these at a time.

So good! Love Minimalist Baker and this is so easy and delicious. Used my tablespoon for a scoop and called truffles :) thanks so much!!

That was so simple and great! I halved the recipe since I didn’t have enough dates, just added more peanut butter and some coconut oil because it was too sticky!

Just made these with my toddler and they are wonderful. I wound up having to add an additional 2tbsp of peanut butter (5 total) and my mixture was very dry so added about 3tbsp maple syrup and that added the moisture I needed. I did soak my dates so maybe the quality was not as good as others. Thanks for another fantastic and healthy recipe : )

Love your website and love your recipes Thanks for sharing your recipes! 🥰

Made these in a nutribullet – required a bit of stirring and trying to get the dry ingredients to the blade, but they turned out really well, were yummy and very easy to roll (not gooey or anything) so minimal mess. Will make again

Quite delicious! Thinking of adding some beets next time. Yes beets.

Amazing! I was in desperate need of a quick treat and these hit the spot! Perfection as usual from you guys!

This is it! The magical combination of a few simple ingredients to the BEST raw cooke/energy ball/bite ever! And I have made hundreds of these guys. Really delicious and cookie-like while still being made of real food ingredients. Thank you!

Yummy. I ended up making 24 smaller balls. Dusted with powdered peanut butter.

I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great! I’ve always been intimidated by this type of recipe but it was super easy and really delicious.

I just made these with some leftover coconut rolled dates I had. Instead of oats (I didn’t have any except steel cut) I used some coconut flour and I also added a few teaspoons of espresso powder. They came out wonderful! Rich and velvety and hits the spot!

I just made these as a quick afternoon snack to hold me over until dinner and they were great! I used Soom Silan (date syrup) in place of the dates which worked perfectly at 1 teaspoon per 2 dates (7 teaspoons total). I only ended up needing 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. I was a little surprised at how tiny they were after diving the mixture evenly into 12 (they ended up being not much larger than a dime), but still very tasty!
