Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix the honey (or maple syrup) together with the peanut butter or almond butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to create a consistent mixture without dry spots.
  4. Add vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract evenly to enhance the flavor profile of the bites.
  5. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  6. Shape the bites: After chilling, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, for easy snacking.
  7. Store properly: Place the energy bites in an airtight container and keep them refrigerated to maintain freshness for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute nut butters based on your preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
  • These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months for longer shelf life.
  • Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to refrigerate to keep the bites firm and maintain their shape.
