Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter and honey, stirring until smooth and fully integrated.
- Add rolled oats to the almond butter and honey mixture, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Incorporate chia seeds into the mixture, continuing to blend until all dry ingredients are well coated.
- Gently fold in mini chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix and break the chips.
- 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.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the formed energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Store the Honey Almond Energy Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For best texture and flavor, allow bites to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and better texture.
- For extra flavor, try toasting the rolled oats lightly before mixing for a nuttier taste.
- If the mixture feels too sticky, chill it for an additional 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or different types of chocolate chips.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform-sized bites that look professional and cook evenly.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Roll the energy bites in shredded coconut or crushed nuts for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
- These bites are perfect for meal prep - they'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Allow the bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best texture and taste.
- Keep a batch in the freezer for up to 3 months for a quick and easy snack anytime!
