With just 7 ingredients, you can make blueberry bliss balls that taste exactly like a blueberry muffin! Made with wholesome ingredients, they’re the perfect grab-and-go snack.
Our family burns through energy balls, so I always need a new recipe to keep things interesting.
Luckily, between pumpkin protein balls, peanut butter balls, and these easy bliss balls, new inspiration keeps on coming.
While I love blueberry desserts (like blueberry donuts and blueberry oatmeal cookies), these blueberry balls are a favorite healthy snack to keep me full between meals. I usually enjoy a few after a workout, or I keep them handy while I’m running errands in case the hunger pangs strike.

Why you’ll love this recipe
- Easy to customize. Similar to protein balls, you can add extra protein, fold in chocolate chips, or make blueberry bars. The options are endless.
- Ready in minutes. All you do is mix everything together, shape the balls, then let them firm up in the fridge. That’s it!
- Healthy. I don’t use any dairy or gluten-derived ingredients, so everyone can enjoy these bliss balls! Like peanut butter oatmeal balls, they’re also easy to make sugar-free, too.
What we love most about these bliss balls is how easy they are to make ahead. I like to make a double (or triple) batch on Sunday and store them for the coming week.
Ingredients needed
These berry bliss balls are made with all healthy, easy-to-find ingredients. Here’s exactly what you’ll need:
- Coconut flour. My favorite high-fiber, low-carb flour for no-bake desserts. It also absorbs moisture well, giving us the perfect cakey texture.
- Blanched almond flour. Note: blanched almond flour, NOT almond meal. Almond meal has the skins left on, which will give you a grittier, more mealy texture.
- Sugar. I used white sugar, but any granulated sweetener will work. You can use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or honey, but you’ll need to adjust the dry ingredients to compensate.
- Vanilla extract. To complement the blueberry flavor.
- Coconut oil. To help bind the ingredients and shape the batter. Use refined coconut oil for no coconut flavor.
- Dried blueberries. To put the blueberries in blueberry balls, of course!
- Milk. I used unsweetened almond milk, but any non-dairy milk will work.

How to make bliss balls
Step 1- Make the dough. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add all your ingredients. Blend until fully immersed. If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk.
Step 2- Shape. Transfer the batter to a large bowl. Using your hands, shape the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on a plate.
Step 3- Refrigerate. Store the balls in the fridge for 30 minutes or until firm.
Recipe tips and variations
- Use a cookie scoop. Don’t feel like using your hands? Sometimes, I’ll use my 1-inch cookie scoop to shape the balls.
- Add protein. When I want to make more filling protein balls, I’ll swap ½ cup almond flour for vanilla protein powder.
- Don’t skip the added sugar. I usually avoid adding sugar to protein balls, but because the dried blueberries are not very sweet on their own, I think it’s essential.
- Adjust the consistency. Depending on how thick your batter is, you may need to add a little extra milk. If the batter becomes too thin, add a little coconut flour to thicken it.
- Add mix-ins. While I think these blueberry balls taste great as is, sometimes I’ll fold in some chocolate chips, raisins, or shredded coconut.
- Make blueberry bars. Sometimes, I find blueberry bars are easier to travel with. Luckily, this recipe can easily be transformed into bar form. Simply press the dough into a square pan lined with parchment paper. Store in the fridge until firm, then slice into bars.
- Use fresh blueberries. You can make these bliss balls with fresh or frozen blueberries. If frozen, let them thaw overnight and remove any excess liquid from the blueberries. Keep in mind the bliss balls will be darker in color.
Storage instructions
To store: Place leftover blueberry balls into an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 1 month.
To freeze: Store leftover blueberry balls in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months. Let the balls thaw overnight in the fridge.
Yes! To make sugar-free bliss balls, swap the sugar for a granulated sweetener of your choice, like allulose or monk fruit.
Yes, when incorporated into a healthy diet, bliss balls can be a nutritious and satisfying snack loaded with protein, fiber, and antioxidants.

Wow – Arman – the consistency of these balls rock! I was thinking they had some sort of coconut oil or something – then I read your recipe – brilliant!
Thanks Shashi 🙂
Need these right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
YESSSSSSSS.
These look delicious! Your photos always make me drool, it’s not very attractive haha. Aww I feel your pain with that aunt of yours, my nana is like that too! For Christmas one time she gave me women’s weeklys from the year dot…. the usual no present situation was preferable!
Thanks Jess- You’re welcome to drool all you like!
Nice balls
I get that ALL the time!
Haha I’ve decided I’m going to be the crazy aunt for my 5-year old niece. Once she’s old enough I can’t wait to put her to work in my garden!
My last name is Scallion, so all my friends in college used to call me Onion. Not a flattering nickname at all, but I couldn’t get them to stop.
Hahaha that is awesome. Slave labour.
Onion? love it.
These look fantastic! I’m thinking I might try making a batch with the dried cranberries in the cupboard that I can’t seem to use up elsewhere. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Please do, Amy!
I think you should thank your aunt for teaching you to read in Chinese! That’s very cool. But the making you pick weeds, not cool at all.
These look really good. Dried blueberries must be in right now because I just drooled over another recipe with them.
Haha, oh man, picking weeds and Chinese reading in one day was torture!
Glad to hear that, Linda! 🙂
Hello blueberry muffin of my no-bake energy ball dreams! YUM. So easy + delish. When are you moving?!
argh NEXT WEEK! But….I was planning on wearing shorts and a t shirt lol!
you’re an energy ball
Duh. I need to be for Cirque Du Soleil!
The nickname my mum used/uses still will stay a secret for as long as possible. It was embarrassing enough when she called me that way in front of my whole class in 6th grade.
Dried blueberries are one of the few kinds of dried fruit I actually enjoy so safe to say you created a balling recipe here 😉 .
My favourite kind of muffin is worth mentioning because it’s still the most requested in my family: chocolate with a sweet cream cheese filling and obviously covered in chocolate.
Please do try it out! That muffin sounds delicious!
Yum! Finally tried some no-bake balls yesterday and they were a huge hit over here. But clearly you are the expert here, I love blueberry and these look awesome!
So glad to hear that- Hope you’re ready for more! (Also, totally shot gunning you all for my taste testers!)
THEEEESE look so good. I need to get some dried blueberries asap! I’ve been wanting to try them, but have been a little worried that the entire would just “mysteriously disappear” in a short amount of time.
My aunt used to make big long nicknames for me like “Loua Leah Hucka Lucka” then add on like ten more rhymes. I also got “Leah Leah Ballerina” a lot even though I don’t dance and couldn’t if I tried.
oh Leah, that is exactly what happens!!!
Also, that is one epic nickname!
Haha lame nicknames? Well my last name is Lehocky so so many people said things like “LeBasketball” and “LeSoccer” and dumb stuff like that. My dad called me pumpkin head because my head is so big 🙂 I love blueberry muffins! And as we’re getting into summer (kinda?) blueberries are getting in season and I can’t wait.
hahahahaha LeCouscous. LeSpinach. LeSandwich.
Hey, I like the last one.
PS- Can I convince you to come to NYC?
Blueberry muffin is seriously my favorite flavor of anything! Like to the point where i would have my dad drop off a bakery blueberry muffin for me practically every morning before school =l probably not the best choice for a daily occurrence. Andddddd I’ve had to change my schedule to be able to workout in the mornings and searching for something quick (yet still delicious and breakfasty) that i can grab at 530 AM and hold me over 😉 Aka I think i need to make these this weekend.. as well as some rice pudding.. and oatmeals.. and no bake cookies. p.s. how did you get your balls to stand on top of each other.. NO PUNS INTENDED. I’m mesmerized.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
My balls are magic. Magic balls.
These look awesome and the fact that they’re no bake is amazing! I just want to pop and handful of these bad boys in my mouth. On a side note, your auntie reminds of character out of a Roald Dahl story 🙂
LOL!!!!! Sonali- Not even kidding, my sister just told me they booked tickets for Matilda when it comes to Australia!
