Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup natural almond butter
- 0.33 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
Add the natural almond butter, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture starts to adhere together.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts or almonds. Ensure that the nuts and chocolate are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. Gently roll to ensure a compact shape.
Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or a plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step is essential to help the bites hold their shape.
Once firm, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for longer storage.
Enjoy these no-bake energy bites as a heart-healthy snack or on-the-go energy boost!
