Coconut Almond Energy Bites
Description
This recipe blends old fashioned oats with coconut oil, honey, and almond butter to form a moist base for energy bites. The addition of flaked coconut enhances the tropical character, while ground flaxseed adds a subtle nutty flavor and some texture. Chocolate chips provide bursts of sweetness that contrast the nuttiness. Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor profile with warm aromatic notes.
The mixture is chilled in the freezer briefly to stiffen it, which makes it easier to shape into compact balls that hold together well. The energy bites are then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, preserving freshness and chewiness.
This no-bake preparation is practical as a portable snack or a light treat when you need a quick source of energy. The combination of oats and nut butter supplies both carbohydrates and protein.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup almond butter (I used maple almond butter)
- 1 cup coconut flaked
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup Flaxseed ground
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well coated.
- Transfer bowl to the freezer for 15 minutes. Remove and roll into balls, about 1/8 cup each. You will need to pack the ingredients together well in your hands before you shape it into balls.
- Place balls in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
