Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, stir together the oat bran, ground flaxseed, almond flour, flaked coconut, sliced toasted almonds, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined.
- In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter, honey, coconut oil, coconut butter, and vanilla extract over low heat. Stir gently until everything is melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted almond butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is evenly moistened and a wet dough forms.
- Grab a small amount of the mixture and roll it into a ball about 1 inch in diameter.
- For the coating, add the extra flaked coconut and sliced toasted almonds into a food processor and pulse until you have small crumbs. Roll each ball in this mixture until fully coated.
- Place your coated bites onto a plate and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once they’re set, they’re ready to enjoy!
Notes
Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of sea salt to enhance the flavors. For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use sunflower seeds instead of almonds. To reduce sweetness, adjust the amount of honey or use maple syrup.
