Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/4 cup flax seeds or chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the oats, almond flour, coconut, protein powder, flax seeds, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Stir everything together until a thick, uniform dough forms.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together.
- Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch).
- Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying.
Notes
- You can add 1-2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- For a stronger coconut taste, toast the shredded coconut lightly before mixing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If you prefer a nut-free option, substitute sunflower seed butter for the almond butter.
