Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup ground flaxseed, 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Stir until ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 tbsp water and mix well; if the mixture is too dry to form balls, add up to 1 more tablespoon water until it holds together when pressed.
  3. Step 3: Roll the mixture into 16 bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
