Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup almond butter (you can substitute with any nut or seed butter)

½ cup dried peaches, finely chopped

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅓ cup protein powder (optional for an extra protein boost)

¼ cup chia seeds or flaxseeds

A pinch of salt

Additional shredded coconut or crushed nuts for rolling (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, finely chopped dried peaches, protein powder (if using), chia seeds or flaxseeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything together until the mixture is uniform and well blended.

    Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps in the nut butter.

      Combine the Mixtures: Gradually pour the smooth wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture becomes sticky enough to hold together when pressed.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes. This step helps firm up the mixture, making it easier to form into individual bites.

          Shape the Energy Bites: After chilling, remove the mixture from the fridge. Using your hands, take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter. If desired, roll the balls in shredded coconut or crushed nuts to add an extra flavor layer and texture.

            Store the Bites: Place the finished energy bites in an airtight container. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week, or for longer storage, consider freezing them.

              Enjoy Your Snack: Whenever you find yourself in need of a quick energy boost or healthy snack, grab a peach energy bite and savor the delightful flavor!
