Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup finely chopped dried mango, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Stir together until evenly mixed.
  2. Step 2: In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm 1/3 cup almond butter and 1/4 cup honey for 20-30 seconds until soft enough to stir smoothly. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt, mixing well.
  3. Step 3: Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is well coated and sticky.
  4. Step 4: Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
