Ingredients

1 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick oats)

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/3 cup pure honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed (optional for extra fiber)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of sea salt

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional for coating)

Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond butter, honey, chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle when rolling into bites.

Roll into Bites: Once chilled, remove the mixture from the fridge. Use your hands to roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). If desired, roll each ball in shredded coconut for an extra touch.

Store Energy Bites: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Once you’ve rolled all the mixture, store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Enjoy Anytime: These energy bites make for a perfect snack or quick energy boost before or after a workout. Enjoy them chilled from the fridge or at room temperature!
