Description
Delicious energy bites combining the zesty flavor of lemon with the chewiness of coconut, perfect for a nutritious snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter as a substitute)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond butter, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Pulse the mixture until evenly combined. The texture should be sticky but manageable.
- If the mixture feels too dry, consider adding a splash of water or more honey; if too wet, additional oats can balance the consistency.
- Use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they hold together well.
- Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
