Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup nut butter (choose almond butter or peanut butter based on preference)

½ cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 cup mixed nuts (a combination of almonds, walnuts, and pecans), roughly chopped

½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (your choice of chocolate)

½ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)

¼ cup chia seeds or flax seeds (for added nutrition)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for flavor)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for warmth)

A pinch of sea salt (to enhance flavors)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, roughly chopped mixed nuts, chopped dried fruit, chia seeds (or flax seeds), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps from the nut butter.

      Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir everything together until all components are evenly coated and you achieve a sticky consistency that holds together when pressed.

        Incorporate the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them throughout the mixture without breaking them apart.

          Shape the Energy Bites: Using your hands, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball. Place each energy bite onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all the mixture is shaped into bites.

            Chill the Bites: Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the bites to firm up and hold their shape, making them easier to handle.

              Store for Enjoyment: Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer shelf life.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Servings: Approximately 20 energy bites

                  Presentation Tips: Arrange the energy bites in a decorative bowl and sprinkle a few extra chopped nuts on top for a finishing touch. These bites make for a delightful snack or an inviting addition to a healthy snack platter!
