To elevate the nutritional profile of your No-Bake Apple Pie Energy Bites, consider incorporating chia seeds. These tiny powerhouses are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein without altering the delightful apple pie flavor of the bites. Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand, adding a nice texture while providing essential nutrients that support heart health and digestion. Simply stir in a couple of tablespoons of chia seeds into your mixture before shaping the bites. This simple addition not only enhances the nutritional value but also contributes to a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or substitute with peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (choose your preferred sweetener)

1 cup diced dried apples (or use apple chips)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (your choice of nuts)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (optional, for added protein)

2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for a nutritional boost)

Unsweetened coconut flakes (for rolling, optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, diced dried apples, chopped walnuts or pecans, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and protein powder (if using). Stir well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

    Blend in Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond butter and honey or maple syrup over the dry mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture holds together well.

      Add Chia Seeds: If you're including chia seeds for an additional nutritional boost, sprinkle them into the mixture now and stir until they are distributed evenly throughout.

        Shape the Bites: Take small amounts of the dough (about 1 tablespoon), and using your hands, roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture feels too sticky, dampen your hands slightly to assist with rolling.

          Coat (Optional): For an extra touch, roll each energy bite in unsweetened coconut flakes, giving them a delightful texture and additional flavor.

            Chill: Arrange the formed energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.

              Store and Serve: Once chilled and firm, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for longer preservation. Enjoy these delicious bites as a quick snack or a nutritious post-workout pick-me-up!
