Rolled oats, almond butter, and honey bind together into chewy, no-bake energy bites studded with chia seeds and dark chocolate chips. They take about 15 minutes to mix and roll, then just need a short chill before they're ready for snacking.
Ingredients
pantry
- 100 grolled oats
- 80 galmond butter
- 3 tbsphoney
- 1 tbspchia seeds
- 40 gdark chocolate chips
- 0.5 tspvanilla extract
Steps
- In a large bowl, stir together the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add the rolled oats and chia seeds to the bowl and stir until evenly incorporated into the almond butter mixture.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, mixing just until distributed throughout.
- If the mixture feels too dry to hold together when pressed, mix in an extra teaspoon of honey; if too wet, add a spoonful more oats.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes to firm up slightly, which makes it easier to roll.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll each between your palms into a compact ball, about 16 total.
- Arrange the rolled bites on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the energy bites in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- If the mixture feels too dry to hold together, add a teaspoon more honey or almond butter until it's sticky enough to roll.
- Chill the mixture for a few minutes before rolling if it's too soft to shape into balls.
- Wet your hands slightly before rolling the bites to keep the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
