diy: almond butter bites

i am, admittedly, an almond butter addict.

that said, i'm always looking for new ways to incorporate my beloved 

(aka fresh almond butter) 

into a delicious and easy-to-whip-up recipe. 

behold: almond butter bites. 

these are so easy to make—and fun, too, if you like to get a little messy. 

with just 6 ingredients, and NO BAKING, these are the perfect snack for anytime, 

though in the summertime they're my favorite. 

almond butter bites

ingredients:

3 tbsp unsalted almond butter (I use freshly ground, but any will do!) 

1 tbsp coconut oil

3 heaping tbsp old fashioned oats

3 tbsp vegan chocolate chips

1/2 tbsp chia seeds

1 heaping tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

instructions:

place all ingredients in food processor (i use a 3 cup bowl) 

pulse until well combined and a sticky mixture has formed

UNPLUG the food processor (my mama always says, no one likes fresh cut fingers in their food)

take 1/2 tbsp of mixture and, with your hands, roll into a ball
side note: keeping your hands wet with water helps in this process! 

place almond butter bites onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper

place baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes

yield: approx 20 bites

serving size: 2 bites

calories per serving: approx. 75

how often i adhere to the serving size: never. 

enjoy!
