Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup creamy almond butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup dried blueberries (or freeze-dried, crushed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut, and flaxseed in a medium bowl. Mix well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
Fold in the dried blueberries gently.
If the mixture seems too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time until it holds together when pressed.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the finished bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving or storing.
Notes
For a vegan option, ensure you use maple syrup instead of honey.
Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
You can freeze these bites for up to three months; thaw slightly before eating.
If you prefer a gluten-free snack, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
