Description
Delicious and nutritious oatmeal raisin energy bites made with wholesome ingredients, perfect for a quick snack or on-the-go breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- ⅓ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine your dry ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds. Stir them together well.
- Add the wet ingredients. Spoon in the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Use your spatula to mix everything together until it’s well combined.
- Fold in the raisins. Once mixed, add the raisins and gently fold them into the mixture until they are evenly dispersed.
- Check the consistency. Take a handful of the mixture and squeeze it in your palm. It should hold its shape. If it crumbles, add a bit more honey; if it’s too sticky, mix in a little more oats.
- Chill the mixture. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
- Roll into balls. Line a tray with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to portion out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls.
- The final chill. Place all the rolled bites on the prepared tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set completely.
- Store and enjoy! Once firm, transfer your energy bites to an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or you can freeze them for up to three months.
Notes
If the mixture is too sticky, add more oats a tablespoon at a time. You can customize these energy bites with different dried fruits, nuts, or seed butter.
