Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond butter, shredded coconut, honey or maple syrup, ground flaxseed, sliced almonds, mini chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle and shape.
- Form Bites: Once chilled, use your hands or a small scoop to form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly to make it easier to work with.
- Roll in Coconut (Optional): You can roll the formed bites in extra shredded coconut for an added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate Again: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour or so, until they are firm.
- Store: Store your coconut almond energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep well for up to a week.
