Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

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

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or cacao nibs for a healthier option)

1/4 cup chopped almonds (or any nuts you prefer)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1-2 tbsp chia seeds for extra nutrition

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, chia seeds (if using), and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the mixture is fully combined. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more almond butter or maple syrup.

        Add Chocolate: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Form Bites: Once well combined, use your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). If the mixture is sticky, dampen your hands slightly to make it easier to handle.

            Chill: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, which will help them firm up.

              Store: Once chilled and firm, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer shelf life.

                Enjoy: Grab a bite whenever you need a quick energy boost or a deliciously healthy snack!
