Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural almond butter or peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Use a spoon to mix thoroughly, ensuring all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter (or peanut butter), honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir this mixture well until it’s smooth and fully blended.

      Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until everything is fully incorporated into a sticky, cohesive mixture.

        Add Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries and dark chocolate chips, if desired. Use a spatula or spoon to ensure the berries and chocolate are evenly mixed without crushing the strawberries.

          Form the Energy Bites: With clean hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat this process until all of the mixture has been shaped into bites. Expect to yield around 15-20 energy bites, depending on your exact sizing.

            Chill to Firm: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then transfer them to the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes, helping them firm up.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and firm, your Summer Bliss Energy Bites are ready to savor! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
