Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup creamy almond butter
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, chopped nuts, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add creamy almond butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula until a cohesive dough forms. It should be sticky but not overly wet.
Sprinkle in ground cinnamon and sea salt, and mix again to fully incorporate.
If using, fold in mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form about 20 small balls, each approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the energy bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
