Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup ground flaxseeds

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, matcha powder, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until everything is evenly distributed.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth. If the almond butter is too thick, consider warming it slightly in the microwave to make it easier to mix.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until fully combined. The mixture should be sticky but manageable.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Once combined, fold in the dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a sweet touch.

          Form the Bites: Using your hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

            Chill: Once all the mixture is rolled into bites, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.

              Store and Enjoy: After chilling, your energy bites are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
