Instructions

• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt; stir to combine.
• Put 1/2 cup creamy almond butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20–30 seconds, or until slightly softened, then stir until smooth.
• Add 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional) to the warmed almond butter; stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
• Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in 1/4 cup dried blueberries and 1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut until evenly distributed.
• If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm slightly.
• Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls, using about 1–2 tablespoons of mixture per ball.
• Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 1 month.
