Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut or seed butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped

1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup diced cheese (like cheddar or gouda)

1/4 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup thinly sliced salami or prosciutto, chopped

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for an extra flavor boost

Instructions
 

Create the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of sea salt. Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended into a cohesive mixture.

    Incorporate the Flavors: Gently fold in the chopped dried cranberries, mini chocolate chips, diced cheese, sliced almonds, and the chopped salami (or prosciutto). Drizzle in the balsamic vinegar and, if utilizing, add the fresh herbs for an aromatic twist. Stir gently to combine without breaking the ingredients.

      Shape the Bites: Once the mixture is sticky and well-combined, use your hands to form small balls about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture feels too crumbly to hold together, add a bit more nut butter or honey to enhance its stickiness.

        Chill to Firm: Place the formed energy bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up for optimal texture.

          Enjoy and Store: Once chilled and set, your energy bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
