Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond butter (or your choice of nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free recommended)

1/2 cup whole roasted and unsalted almonds

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare a Baking Sheet: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will create a non-stick surface for your oat bites to cool and firm up once shaped. Set this aside while you prepare the mixture.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Use a spoon to stir the dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all the oats are coated and the mixture has a sticky consistency. If it appears too dry, add a small splash of water or an additional teaspoon of almond butter to achieve the desired texture.

          Fold in Chocolate and Almonds: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips and whole almonds. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for a delightful bite in every piece.

            Form the Bites: With your hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Roll it into a ball shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture until you have created all the bites.

              Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the oat bites chill for at least 30 to 60 minutes. This resting time is crucial for the bites to firm up properly.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, your almond joy oat bites are ready to be enjoyed! They make a perfect quick snack, satisfying dessert, or energizing post-workout treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will last for up to one week.
