No-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Energy Bites
Description
This recipe blends nutrient-dense rolled oats with ground flaxseed and chia seeds, which provide fiber and a slight crunch, along with cinnamon and a pinch of salt for warm, balanced flavor. Almond butter is warmed briefly to soften and mixed with honey and vanilla to create a sticky binder that holds the dry ingredients together.
Once combined, raisins add bursts of fruity chewiness, contributing natural sweetness and texture reminiscent of classic oatmeal raisin cookies. The mixture is shaped into small balls about one to two tablespoons each, easy to handle and portion.
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the bites keep for about two weeks, making them convenient grab-and-go snacks. The recipe permits substitutions like dried cranberries or chocolate chips for raisins according to preference.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1/4 cup Flaxseed ground
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- sea salt a pinch
- 1/2 cup almond butter I use Justin's Vanilla Almond Butter, creamy
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
- Place the almond butter in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. You want it to be soft and slightly melted. Stir until smooth.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract to the melted almond butter. Stir until smooth. Pour over the oat mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in the raisins.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1-2 tablespoons per ball. Place in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
- Note-if you don't like raisins, you can use dried cranberries or chocolate chips instead. Or add some mini chocolate chips in with the raisins.
