No Bake Energy Bites with Nutella are an easy no bake breakfast or snack. Made with peanut butter, oatmeal, ground flaxseed, honey, coconut oil, and Nutella.

Breakfast is always a busy time, with everyone rushing to get out the door on time in the morning. I love easy breakfast ideas that are ready to eat.
I made these No Bake Energy Bites that can be quickly eaten with a piece of fruit and a glass of milk. They are made with peanut butter, oatmeal, ground flaxseed, honey, coconut oil and Nutella. Everyone in my family loves them!
Tonia’s Notes
I first learned of Nutella when I was in middle school. I had a neighborhood friend named Emily, whose mom was from Germany. Emily introduced me to Nutella.
She would put it on toast for breakfast, and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of Nutella and have passed the love on to my kids.
How To Make Nutella Energy Bites
To make the No Bake Energy Bites, mix together rolled oats, crispy rice cereal (or shredded coconut), Nutella, peanut butter, ground flaxseed, honey, vanilla, coconut oil and mini chocolate chips.
The great thing about energy bites is that they are easily customizable depending on your family’s favorites. You can add shredded coconut instead of crispy rice cereal or dried fruit instead of mini chocolate chips.
Scoop the mixture into small balls. I used a tablespoon-sized cookie dough scoop. Place the balls on a piece of parchment paper.
Use your hands to roll them into tightly packed balls. Place the no bake energy bites in the fridge to set.
These No Bake Energy Bites are perfect for a quick breakfast when eaten with a piece of fruit and a glass of milk. They also make a great snack! I want to make another batch and try replacing the mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts.

I love these, I put less honey and flaxseed and switch the peanut butter to almond butter, loved these and eat most of the mix while I make them that’s how good!
Tonia Larson says
My daughter loves almond butter! I’ll have to give that a try.
Lorie says
I put slightly less honey and flaxseed
As well as that, I microwave the peanut butter, Nutella, coconut oil and honey!
Love the recipe and have been using it for years!!!

MJ says
I made mine with cashew/almond butter because my daughter has and allergy to peanuts but they are so good!!!!!!
Onna says
Do you have to use coconut oil or can canola oil be substituted? Thank you.
Tonia Larson says
Hello Onna,
I would try skipping the coconut oil instead of adding canola. You can add more peanut butter or oats depending on how the mixture feels. If it is too dry, add more peanut butter. On the other hand, if it is too sticky you can add more oats.
Enjoy,
Tonia
