Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup dried raspberries
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly blend rolled oats, almond butter, and honey in a spacious mixing vessel until the ingredients create a cohesive, slightly sticky foundation.
- Incorporate dried raspberries, finely chopped almonds, delicate shredded coconut, aromatic vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the mixture, ensuring even distribution of each component.
- Gently manipulate the combined ingredients with clean hands, forming compact spherical clusters approximately one inch in diameter, applying consistent pressure to help them maintain structural integrity.
- Arrange the freshly crafted energy bites onto a parchment-lined tray, creating a single layer that allows each morsel sufficient space.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and allow the bites to chill and solidify for a minimum of 30 minutes, which will enhance their texture and help them retain their shape.
- Once the energy bites have firmed up, relocate them to a sealed storage container, positioning them carefully to prevent crushing.
- Refrigerate the prepared snacks, which will remain fresh and delectable for up to seven days, providing a convenient, nutritious treat ready to fuel your activities.
Notes
- Enhance binding by chilling the mixture for 10-15 minutes before rolling to prevent sticky hands and create more compact energy bites.
- Swap honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan-friendly options, ensuring the same sweet and sticky consistency.
- Toast chopped almonds briefly before adding to boost their nutty flavor and provide a more robust crunch to the energy bites.
- Experiment with different dried fruits like cranberries or blueberries to create unique flavor variations while maintaining the nutritional profile.
