Ingredients

Scale

0.5 cup creamy almond butter (120g, or cashew butter)
1 cup rolled oats (90g, use certified gluten-free oats if needed)
0.25 cup natural sweetener (60ml, honey or maple syrup)
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (14g)
(Optional) Chia Seeds
(Optional) Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
(Optional) Vanilla Extract
(Optional) Mini Chocolate Chips
(Optional) Cinnamon
(Optional) Vanilla or unflavored Protein Powder

Instructions

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine your creamy almond butter and natural sweetener until smooth and evenly blended (mix for 2-3 minutes).
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in oats, ground flaxseed, and any chosen boosters. Mix until a thick, uniform dough forms and the mixture feels cohesive (about 2-3 minutes).
Roll Your Bites: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture using a cookie scoop and roll it between your palms into firm, bite-sized balls. If the mixture feels too dry to bind, splash in 1-2 teaspoons more sweetener.
Chill and Enjoy: Place your rolled Almond Butter Energy Bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up nicely before serving.

Notes

If the mixture is too sticky, gradually add more rolled oats; if too dry, add more almond butter or sweetener. For a different texture, press the mixture into an 8×8-inch pan and cut into bars instead of rolling balls. Store chilled for best results.
