Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cook oats
  • 1/2 cup almonds, raw
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  • Prepare the Almonds: Add the almonds to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not powdery.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, chia seeds, salt, and lemon zest.
  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together when pressed.
  • Form the Bites: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water (1 tsp at a time) until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Coat with Coconut Flakes: Roll each ball in the unsweetened coconut flakes to coat.
  • Chill and Set: Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  • Serve: Enjoy 2-3 bites per serving as a quick, nutritious snack.
