Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup chocolate protein powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped almonds (plus extra for garnish)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and pure vanilla extract. Use a spatula or whisk to stir until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir continuously until the two mixtures are fully combined into a thick dough that is easy to handle.

        Fold in Add-Ins: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped almonds using a spatula. Ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for balanced flavor in each bite.

          Form Balls: With your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball shape. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for easy handling.

            Chill: Place the baking sheet with the balls in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes. This chilling period will help the energy bites firm up nicely.

              Garnish (Optional): For a decorative finish, you can roll the chilled energy balls in additional shredded coconut or finely chopped almonds before serving.

                Serve & Enjoy: Once chilled and firm, your Almond Joy Bliss Bites are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
