Blueberry Almond Butter Energy Bites

 INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1/4 cups roughly chopped almonds

1/4 to 1/2 cup dried blueberries (I've found that 1/4 is plenty)

1 Tablespoon chia seeds

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/2 cup almond butter

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon almond extract



INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, blueberries, and chia seeds and salt. Set aside

2. In a small, microwavable bowl, add the almond butter and honey. Microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until almond butter melts slightly, so that it is easier to stir. Remove from microwave and add in almond extract.  Stir thoroughly until mixture is smooth.

3.  Pour almond butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir to combine.  If mixture seems too dry, add 1/2 Tablespoon (or more) of honey, until it comes together.

4. Place bowl into fridge and chill 20-25 min, so it holds together easier to shape into balls. (this is optional).  Form mixture into small balls.  Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

NOTES: If mixture is too dry, add more honey to hold together.
