Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond butter preferably natural and creamy
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats lightly toasted for extra flavor
  • 0.5 cup chopped almonds preferably toasted
  • a pinch sea salt
  • 0.25 cup coconut flakes optional, toasted for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Sturdy spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet with parchment
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Start by mixing the almond butter and honey in a medium bowl until smooth and glossy, filling your kitchen with a warm, nutty aroma.
  2. Add the rolled oats, toasted chopped almonds, sea salt, and coconut flakes to the bowl. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and sticky, with a slightly thick texture.
  3. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into compact balls with your hands. Gently press each ball into shape—this helps them hold together better.
  4. Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly if you prefer a more surface area for biting.
  5. Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes, allowing the bites to firm up and become easier to handle. You'll notice a shiny, firm exterior once chilled.
  6. Once chilled, optionally roll the bites in extra chopped almonds or coconut flakes for a decorative, crunchy finish.
  7. Serve the almond butter bites straight from the fridge for a chewy, firm texture, or let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if you prefer a softer bite. Enjoy these simple, nourishing treats whenever you need a quick sweet fix.

Notes

For a richer flavor, lightly toast the oats and chopped almonds before mixing. You can substitute other nut butters and sweeteners based on your preference. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
