RECIPE: Pineapple & Coconut & Oats Energy Bites!

These easy-to-make energy bites are tasty healthy treats that are great for on-the-go snacking or to put in your kids lunch boxes! Pack them in for a weekend hike, trail run or picnic too!
These no-bake energy bites are easy to make and packed with fibre thanks to the oats, healthy fats thanks to the almond butter and give that tropical summery taste thanks to the coconut and pineapple. The pineapple will also add a natural sweet-sour moreish flavour along with the honey.

This recipe is easy to make in a large food processor, but can also be made by hand. If the mixture is too sticky, add some more desiccated coconut as this helps to absorb the moisture. If the mixture is too dry, add some more nut butter or honey.

You can use any nut butter of your choice, but keep in mind that they have different consistencies and the recipe may need to be slightly adjusted accordingly.

What You Need:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup of dried pineapple, finely chopped
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (or flax seeds)
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup almond or macadamia nut butter

Method:

1/ Add all the ingredients to a large bowl (or food processor if using) and mix until combined.

2/ Roll the mixture into small balls and then roll them again in desiccated coconut to make them less sticky (optional).

3/ Place the balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate for an hour to set.

4/ Store in an airtight container.
