Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

1/4 cup chopped almonds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds.

    Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

      Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add in the dark chocolate chips. Mix everything together until well combined. You might find it easier to use your hands to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

        Form the Balls: With slightly damp hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all mixture is formed into balls.

          Chill: Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

            Enjoy: Once chilled, you can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
