Almond Energy Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw almonds 
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1/4 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, or your choice)
• 1/4 cup chia seeds (for added fibre and Omega-3s)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of sea salt
• Optional: 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips or dried fruit for extra flavour

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   If you’re using whole almonds, pulse them in a food processor until they reach a coarse texture. If you prefer almond butter, simply measure it out.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients:
   Stir in the honey, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined. If you’re using almond butter, this will help bind the ingredients together.
4. Form the Bites:
   Once your mixture is smooth and sticky, roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make around 10-12 bites.
5. Chill and Enjoy:
   Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
6. Optional Add-ins:
   For extra flavour, fold in chocolate chips or dried fruit before rolling the mixture into balls.
