By deiv3 on September 12, 2024

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp flax seeds, ground
1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
2 tbsp water (if needed for consistency)

Instructions:

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flax seeds, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add almond butter, melted coconut oil, sweetener, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: If you're using sugar-free chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this point for added flavor and texture.
Shape the Bites: Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bites for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Store: Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or frozen for longer shelf life.
