Instructions

Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), freeze-dried raspberries, ground flaxseed, chopped almonds, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until the mixture becomes sticky and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the Bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls roughly 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, dampen your hands slightly with water to make rolling easier.
Chill the Bites: Place the formed energy bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step helps them firm up and hold their shape.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, these Raspberry Almond Energy Bites are ready to be enjoyed as a nutritious snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

Freeze-dried raspberries provide a concentrated berry flavor without adding extra moisture, but fresh raspberries can be used if preferred; just mash them well and be aware the mixture may be a bit wetter.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
For a nuttier flavor, try substituting chopped almonds with walnuts or pecans.
If the mixture feels too loose, add more oats or ground flaxseed to help bind it.
These bites can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
