- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (optional) Optional for extra nutrition

Method
Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon, fine sea salt, and optional chia seeds. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mash and fold the mixture together until every oat flake is coated.
- Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed.
- Check the mixture's consistency; it should hold its shape when squeezed. Adjust with honey or oats if too dry or sticky.
- Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and portion out the mixture using a small cookie scoop or your hands, rolling each piece into a compact ball.
- Place the rolled bites on the tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Serving and Storage
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months, separating with parchment paper.
