Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped

1/2 cup natural almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut (if using), chia seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the mixture is fully combined and sticky. If it seems too dry, add a little more maple syrup or almond butter; if too wet, add more oats.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into bites.

          Shape the Bites: After chilling, remove the mixture from the fridge. Use your hands to roll small portions of the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

            Store the Energy Bites: Place the rolled energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate. Once completed, refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to firm them up even more.

              Enjoy or Store: Once firm, you can enjoy these energy bites immediately! If storing, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer shelf life.
