Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or your favorite nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup ground gingerbread spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice)

1/4 cup molasses

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

Pinch of salt

Optional: a splash of vanilla extract

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and ground gingerbread spices. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the oats.

    In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, molasses, and a splash of vanilla extract (if using). Blend until smooth and well combined.

      Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the oats and spices. Mix until all the dry ingredients are fully coated.

        Fold in the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Ensure everything is evenly distributed.

          Once mixed, use your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You can wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.

            Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

              Once all bites are formed, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

                Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
