Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
• 1/2 cup raw almonds
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup natural almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/3 cup vegan dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Equipment

• Food processor or high-powered blender
• Mixing bowl
• Baking sheet or tray
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Refrigerator for setting the bites

Instructions

1. Prepare your nuts and oats: In your food processor, pulse the raw almonds until they are finely chopped but not turned into nut butter. Add the rolled oats and pulse a few more times to combine.
2. Add seeds and dry ingredients: Transfer the nut-oat mixture to a mixing bowl. Stir in the chia seeds, ground flaxseed, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed. If it’s too dry, add a touch more almond butter or maple syrup.
5. Fold in optional add-ins: Gently fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries or raisins if using. These add bursts of flavor and texture that elevate the bites.
6. Shape the bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls or bars and place them evenly spaced on the tray.
7. Chill to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step helps the bites hold their shape and enhances their texture.
8. Store and enjoy: Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Tips & Variations

“Feel free to swap out nuts and seeds to suit your preferences or what you have on hand. Walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds all work wonderfully!”

• Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter and replace almonds with extra oats or seeds.
• Add Superfoods: Boost nutrition by adding hemp seeds, spirulina powder, or cacao nibs.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of ground ginger, nutmeg, or cardamom for a warm, exotic flavor.
• Sweetener Swap: Use date syrup or brown rice syrup if you prefer a different natural sweetener.
• Make It Raw: Skip the baking step entirely and just chill the bites for a raw snack.
• Portion Control: Make smaller bite sizes for kids or larger bars for a more filling snack.
