Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

½ cup shredded coconut

¼ cup chopped almonds or walnuts

½ cup dried mixed fruits (like apricots, cranberries, or raisins)

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp cinnamon

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruits, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.

    Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. You can use your hands to ensure everything is well incorporated.

      Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to help it firm up a bit, making it easier to form bites.

        Once chilled, take small amounts of the mixture (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll them into bite-sized balls. If needed, wet your hands lightly to prevent sticking.

          Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

            Optional: Roll some of the bites in additional shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

              Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer-lasting treats.
