Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats Base for texture and bulk.
- ½ cup almond butter Adds creaminess and healthy fats.
- ¼ cup honey Sweetens naturally and binds ingredients.
- 1 cup dried strawberries, chopped Infuses flavor and adds nutrition.
- ¼ cup shredded coconut Introduces a delightful chew and tropical hint.

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all the necessary ingredients to ensure you have everything you need before you start.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, and honey. Use a spatula to mix until everything is well blended and sticky.
- Chop the dried strawberries into small pieces, then add them to the bowl along with the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Stir until well incorporated.
- Make sure all the ingredients are evenly mixed together. The mixture should hold together well but still be slightly crumbly.
- Use your hands to take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Place the formed bites on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space between them to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes to help the bites firm up.
- After chilling, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store them in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to three months.
