Ingredients
  

1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark or dairy-free)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) - optional

Instructions
 

Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial to ensure that the energy bites don't become too soggy.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), chocolate chips, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. If you're adding nuts, include them as well.

      Combine Well: Use a spatula or your hands (a great way to feel the texture!) to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. Chilling makes it easier to form the bites.

          Form Energy Bites: After chilling, take a spoonful of the mixture and roll it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate as you roll them.

            Final Chill: Once all the bites are formed, return them to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to firm up.

              Storage: Store the Zucchini Bliss Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing energy boost anytime!
