No-Bake Chocolate Chip Breakfast Balls

Today’s recipe is a really fun one: no-bake chocolate chip breakfast balls! This recipe is straight from The Easy Gluten Free Cookbook, which is NEW from my friend Lindsay of Veggie Balance.

The cookbook isn’t actually out yet, it comes out in a few weeks but is available for preorder on Amazon. But let me tell you, it’s one you want to add to your collection! I love having an array of gluten free cookbooks on hand and this one is no exception. There are a TON of great recipes in it.

This cookbook has it all: breakfast, soup + salad, sides + snacks, main dishes (with beef, pork, poultry, fish, vegetarian, AND vegan!), desserts, and even sauces + dressings. Plus their main focus is on being EASY – exactly what you need at the end of a day during a busy week.

I chose to make these no-bake chocolate chip breakfast balls because these are right up my family’s alley with peanut butter and chocolate. There’s also similar to my Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites, which my family already loves. These also have very few ingredients in them and they are SO easy to make! One bowl, minimal mixing, and just a little bit of chill time and rolling.

They’re great to have on hand for busy mornings, just pair them with some fresh fruit and maybe a high-protein yogurt and you’re good to go! My kids and husband like these for lunches and snacks too. I can already tell this is going to be a recipe we’re going to be making again and again.

The other recipes in the book look really good too. Plus, if you love Mexican flavors, you’ll absolutely fall in love with this cookbook. There are quite a few Mexican-inspired recipes here (breakfast tacos, Mexican Lasagna, Enchilada Stuffed Portabellas, Black Bean Nachos, and SO MANY MORE). And if you don’t love Mexican food, there are LOTS of recipes here for you too – so many classics re-made with a bit of a healthier twist.

Many of the recipes also only call for one pan/pot, have minimal ingredients, and can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. PERFECT! I really think you’re going to love this one as much as I do!
