In another episode of lazy people solve problems, meet my easy and delicious 3 ingredient muesli balls.
Muesli bars are an awesome quick snack. But, the ones in the supermarket can be loaded with sugar. And who can be bothered making their own, right?
But, my muesli balls are different. So EASY. Like. Really. Really Easy! No blitz, no bake and just 3 simple ingredients – muesli, peanut butter, and honey. So simple it is RIDICULOUS!
And while easy is awesome. Wait for it. The next bit is even better.
No one misses out!
Sensitive to gluten? – use gluten free muesli. Can’t take nuts to school? Switch peanut butter for tahini and use a muesli that doesn’t contain nuts. Seriously. This Muesli Ball YUM is for everyone!
Whether you are looking for a lunch box snack, a pre-gym boost or a healthy treat with your cuppa, my muesli balls have got your back AND your tastebuds. If you give them a try, leave a comment. I’d love to know what you think.

Easy Muesli Balls
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 12 muesli balls 1x
Description
No blitz, no bake and 3 ingredients. So easy it’s ridiculous!
Ingredients
- 11/2 cups of good quality muesli. You can use any type depending on your dietary preference.
- ½ cup of natural crunchy peanut butter or tahini for nut free
- ¼ cup of honey or rice malt syrup for fructose free
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a spoon until combined and the mixture comes together. To test whether the mixture is ready, squeeze some in your hands. If it easily forms a ball, you’re ready to roll. If not, add some more peanut butter or tahini until you get the right consistency.
- Take a tablespoon of mixture in your hands, give it a squeeze and then roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should end up with 12 muesli balls in total.
- You can leave them in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. But, I never do…they taste totally delicious straight from the bowl.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
For an extra yummy treat melt a couple of squares of dark chocolate in the microwave and drizzle the chocolate over the top of the muesli bites.

Hi, I'm Rani! 
I made your lovely muesli balls with tahini for school lunches- as no nuts allowed. I added choc chips as I can’t be bothered melting the choc over at the end. I also did 2 Tbsps coconut sugar and 1 Tbsp soft brown sugar instead of the malt syrup. I am down in Nz, hard to get some things here like that. I added in 2 Tbsp dessicated coconut as it is not a nut! (Surprisingly not a tree nut despite its name). Thank goodness. And small handful of currants (tiny little raisins) – you won’t find them much in the US- they’re very sweet. I had to add 1.5 Tbspn more tahini to get it all to stick together. They’re in the fridge- husband has given thumbs up. I have one sweet tooth fussy britches child so I will work on decreasing the sweetness after she has become accustomed to them! Here’s hoping! Thank you – I am also a fellow lawyer! 👍🏼🤣 like your recipe, easy to follow, great idea!!

Hi Deb. Yay…this comment made my day and you’re a fellow lawyer to boot! I am so glad you enjoyed the muesli balls, and thank you so much for sharing the way you made them your own. The currants sound like a great addition. It has actually got me thinking about making a Christmas version – yum (thank you for the inspo!). I hope there are a lot more muesli balls and oother yums in your future. Take care Rani x
