- 1 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup - 1/4 cup cocoa powder - 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips - 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of salt Measuring accurately helps your energy bites turn out great. Use dry measuring cups for oats and cocoa powder. For sticky items like nut butter and honey, use a liquid measuring cup. Spray the cup with cooking oil first. This makes it easier to pour. Use a kitchen scale for precision if you have one. It helps you get the right amounts, especially for small quantities. You can swap out ingredients to suit your tastes. If you don't like almond butter, use peanut butter. For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey. You can also use agave syrup for sweetness. If you don’t have dark chocolate chips, try semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. For a nut-free option, use sun butter instead of nut butter. Feel free to get creative with these bites! Start by gathering all your ingredients. You will need rolled oats, almond butter, honey, cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Measure out each ingredient carefully. This helps your energy bites taste the best. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir this mixture well. In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup of almond butter, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure this mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir until everything blends well. Next, fold in 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips, 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Ensure even distribution of all these yummy flavors. Now it's time to roll your mixture into bites. Scoop small portions and roll them into balls about 1 inch in size. Place these bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. After rolling all the bites, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up. Enjoy your energy bites right away or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Mixing is key for tasty energy bites. I always start with dry ingredients. Combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt in a big bowl. Stir well until they blend nicely. Next, I mix wet ingredients in another bowl. I use creamy almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until it’s smooth. Then, I pour the wet mix into the dry mix. This helps keep the texture just right. Stir until every bit is combined. Don't rush this step; it makes a big difference. These bites are perfect for snacks or treats. I love serving them at parties. You can place them on a nice platter for guests. They’re great for lunch boxes too. Just grab a few and go! You can also pair them with fruits like bananas or apples. If you want a drink, a glass of milk works well. These bites are not just tasty; they are filling too. To make these energy bites even better, try adding nuts. Chopped almonds or walnuts add a nice crunch. I also enjoy a sprinkle of cinnamon for warmth. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. For extra sweetness, use more honey or maple syrup. You can switch up the chocolate chips too. Try using white chocolate or milk chocolate. Each change brings a new twist to the recipe, keeping it fun! {{image_2}} You can easily swap out some ingredients for a new taste. If you don't have almond butter, peanut butter works great. You can also try sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. Instead of honey, use maple syrup for a vegan choice. For the oats, quick oats can replace rolled oats, but the texture might change a bit. Want to change the flavor? Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for warmth. You can use different types of chocolate, like white chocolate chips, for a sweeter bite. If you love spice, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. This will give your bites a fun kick. You can also include dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for a fruity touch. If you're looking for healthier choices, use less sweetener. You can cut the honey or maple syrup to 2 tablespoons. If you're gluten-free, make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. For a higher protein option, add protein powder to the mix. Just reduce the oats slightly to keep the ratio right. These easy swaps let you enjoy energy bites while meeting your dietary needs. You can keep your Triple Chocolate Energy Bites in the fridge. Place them in an airtight container. They stay fresh for about one week. This way, you have a tasty snack ready to grab. If you want to save them longer, freeze the energy bites. First, let them chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

This helps keep moisture out. If you freeze them, use freezer bags or safe containers. Label each bag with a date. This helps you track how long they have been stored.
