Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (or dried strawberries, finely chopped)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

    Divide the Mixture: Divide the mixture into three separate bowls.

      Chocolate Layer: In the first bowl, add the cocoa powder and stir until fully incorporated. This will be your chocolate layer.

        Strawberry Layer: In the second bowl, add the freeze-dried strawberries and chia seeds (if using). Mix until combined, creating the strawberry layer.

          Plain Oat Mixture: Leave the third bowl as it is for your plain oat base.

            Form the Bites: Using your hands, take a tablespoon of each mixture and roll them into small bite-sized balls, ensuring to create a layer of each flavor (chocolate, strawberry, and plain oat). You can alternate between the layers or make three distinct layers within each ball.

              Add Chocolate Chips: Gently press a few mini chocolate chips onto the top of each energy bite for added texture and sweetness.

                Chill: Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.

                  Serve & Store: Once chilled, enjoy your no-bake Neapolitan energy bites! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
