Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the apple thoroughly.
- Core the apple and then finely chop or grate it. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of oats, 4 tbsp of flaxseed, and 3/4 tsp of cinnamon.
- Stir these dry ingredients together until well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of almond butter, 5 tbsp of honey, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
- Add a small pinch (1/16 tsp) of salt to the mixture.
- Fold the chopped or grated apple into the mixture. Make sure the apple is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Use a wooden spoon or your hands (clean, of course) to mix everything together. Ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is uniformly blended.
- Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter. You can use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the balls.
- Place the formed energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container.
- Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. These energy bites also freeze well if you want to make a larger batch in advance.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop the apple to ensure it incorporates well into the mixture.
- For extra texture, you can toast the oats in a skillet before mixing them with other ingredients.
- If the mixture is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before forming the bites.
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Experiment with add-ins like chia seeds, dried fruit, or a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor and nutrition.
