Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bites

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup rolled oats
  2. 1/2 cup almond butter
  3. 1/4 cup honey
  4. 1/2 cup dried apples, chopped
  5. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  7. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, finely chopped dried apples, and chopped walnuts.
  2. Add the ground cinnamon and nutmeg to the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
  3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter and honey for 20-30 seconds to create a more fluid mixture that blends easily.
  4. Pour the warm almond butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until all components are well combined and stick together.
  5. If the mixture seems too dry, add an extra tablespoon of honey or almond butter. If too wet, incorporate a few more rolled oats.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly, which will make forming the bites easier.
  7. Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into uniform bite-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
  8. Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate, ensuring they are not touching each other.
  9. Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to set and develop a firmer texture.
  10. Store the Apple Pie Energy Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips

  1. Use fresh, high-quality dried apples for the most intense flavor profile.
  2. Ensure your almond butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  3. Refrigeration is key - it helps the bites hold their shape and enhances the flavor melding.
  4. For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the mixture.
  5. Experiment with different nuts like pecans or almonds for variety.
  6. If the mixture is too sticky, slightly wet your hands before rolling the bites.
  7. These energy bites are perfect for meal prep and can be frozen for up to a month.
  8. For a more indulgent version, roll the finished bites in shredded coconut or crushed nuts.
