Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond butter natural, runny preferred
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats old-fashioned preferred
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes lightly toasted optional
  • a pinch sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Tablespoon or small scoop

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter and honey, stirring until smooth and slightly runny, releasing a nutty aroma.
  2. Add the rolled oats, toasted coconut flakes, a pinch of sea salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly, pressing and folding until the mixture becomes sticky and well combined.
  3. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the mixture for pockets of melty sweetness.
  4. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it between your palms into 1-inch balls, placing each on the prepared parchment-lined sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.
  5. Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the bites to firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Once chilled, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the bites in layers separated by parchment paper for up to three months.
