Let me just take a moment to calmly state one thing about this recipe… THESE ARE THE BEST ENERGY BALLS I’VE EVER MADE! And I’m not afraid to show my enthusiasm.

As a teenager who loves to snack all the time, these clusters are just the thing for me when I’m wanting something sweet. These are very simple to make and only require a few ingredients. And bonus… You don’t even have to use the oven! How amazing is that?

I have a love for anything with peanut butter in it, and if you’re like me, you can’t go wrong with a sweet treat involving it. (Let’s be honest, who isn’t hit with a craving when somebody mentions peanut butter cookies?) The clusters in my opinion are practically like peanut butter cookies that you can have without feeling guilty. And for the moms and dads out there, when your children want something sweet, these will do just the trick!

The reason I call them Power-Up Clusters is because when you are trying to get a quick boost of energy, this is the grab-and-go way to get it! Full of protein from the nuts and oats, these are just the thing to get you going!
