Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Start by lining a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper to make rolling the bites easier.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried cranberries (or raisins), chia seeds, shredded coconut, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir these ingredients until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir with a spatula until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be sticky and hold together. If it's too dry, you can add a small splash of water or extra honey.

          Add Optional Ingredients: If you're using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture now to add a touch of sweetness.

            Form the Bites: Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step until all the mixture is used.

              Chill and Set: Once all the bites are formed, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

                Serve: After chilling, serve your energy bites cold or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a quick snack, pre-workout fuel, or a healthy dessert!
