Paleo Energy Bites with Almond Butter
These Paleo Energy Bites are no-bake, naturally sweetened, and ridiculously simple. Perfect for meal prep, snack attacks, or pretending you’re healthy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter creamy or chunky, go wild
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup maple syrup nature’s caramel
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed for fiber and fake maturity
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips optional but recommended—unless you hate joy
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt because you're fancy
Instructions
- Dump almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla into a mixing bowl. Stir like your life depends on it.
- Add almond flour, flaxseed, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Mix until it resembles sticky cookie dough.
- Fold in chocolate chips if using. This is when it starts getting dangerously snackable.
- Use your hands to roll into 1-inch balls. Pro tip: slightly damp hands = less mess.
- Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 10 if you’re impatient (we see you).

- Double the batch. Seriously, you'll regret it if you don’t.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer. Good luck making them last.
