This four-ingredient peanut butter coconut bliss ball recipe is vegan, dairy-free, and an easy protein snack for a quick pick-me-up.
These peanut butter coconut balls are so easy to make! They only require four ingredients and are dairy-free and vegan. If using the correct oats and peanut butter, these bliss balls can also be gluten-free (just be sure to check the label of your ingredients to ensure they contain no gluten).
Creating these bliss balls is as simple as adding all the ingredients into a bowl, mixing, and then rolling the balls out.
These peanut butter coconut balls can be prepped in about 10 minutes, and then need an hour to set in the fridge.
They are so yummy! The best way to describe them is like peanut butter on toast. I like to pop a few in my lunchbox for a quick and yummy protein snack to have whilst I’m at work.
To take it one step further you could (and this is totally optional) dip in chocolate for a heavenly treat – yum yum!!

These sound delicious! The maple syrup sounds like it would be a whole jar from the supermarket – do you buy it in bulk? Thanks! Can’t wait to make these
They are delicious Nicola! I tend to buy a large maple syrup if I’m planning on making these – there is half a cup in each batch. Hope you enjoy them! Kat x
Very easy to make and Yummy also
Aren’t they tasty Helene?! Glad you enjoyed them too! x
These are so delicious! We love them!
And I will even be able to make them for my Dad who sticks to a vegan diet. So happy! ?
Fabulous to hear Tenille! So happy to hear that you enjoyed them x
Hi, do you think this would work as a slice?
Do you have the calorie and nutrition count available for these bliss balls. Also can you use honey instead of maple syrup
Dawn honey should also work well – I haven’t tried it myself, but I would imagine it would be just as yummy! I’m not a dietician or chef, so I don’t like to comment on calories or nutrition count. You can however use an online calculator (like this one) to get these answers. I hope this helps. Kat x
Our whole family loves these! I also add some blitzed dark choc chips, pumpkin seeds and nuts … delish ?
Oooo yummy! They sound delicious too Dee. Thank you for your lovely feedback, and for sharing this variation 🙂 Kat x
Hi, these look amazing! Could you use brown rice malt syrup instead of maple, and can these freeze?
Natalie I haven’t made these with brown rice malt syrup, but I couldn’t see why that wouldn’t work – if you try it, please let us know how they turn out. These Peanut Butter Coconut Balls are great for freezing too! Kat x
I cant seem to find the bliss ball recipes amywhere… have tried clicking on the links but none of the images or text are linked to a recipe.
I just had to come and rate this recipe as it was pretty good – THANK YOU. I didn’t have enough maple syrup but happened to have two bottles of golden syrup therefore substituted all the maple syrup for golden syrup then followed the recipe and they worked out very nicely. Taste so good. Straight to the freezer they went for a quick lunchbox filler for us all. Highly recommend. PS I did dip half the balls in choc for a little added sweetness as per 20 year old daughters suggestion, but I thought they were fine without the chocolate (that’s why I compromised with only half a dip).
