Description

These Lemon Poppy Seed Energy Bites are a refreshing and nutritious snack, combining the zesty brightness of lemon with the crunch of poppy seeds and the wholesome goodness of oats and almond butter.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed to form a sticky and uniform mixture.
  2. Shape Mixture: Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is shaped into energy bites, and place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  3. Refrigerate: Place the baking sheet with the formed energy bites into the refrigerator. Chill them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape better.
  4. Enjoy and Store: After chilling, the energy bites are ready to eat. Serve immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice according to preference or dietary restrictions.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • If you prefer sweeter bites, increase the honey or maple syrup slightly to taste.
  • These bites can be stored in the freezer for longer storage; thaw before eating.
