Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup ground flaxseeds

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, ground flaxseeds, and sea salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until fully incorporated. The mixture should be sticky but hold together.

        Add Ins: If using, fold in dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts. This step is optional, but it adds a delightful crunch and extra flavor.

          Form Energy Bites: Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into bites; you should get around 12-15 energy bites, depending on the size.

            Chill: Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and put them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Store: Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage.
