Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and form a sticky dough.
  2. Step 2: Gently fold in 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips and 1/4 cup chopped almonds, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Step 3: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
