Print Recipe

Quick and wholesome no-bake energy bites made with dried apricots, oats, almond butter, and honey. Perfect for a healthy snack on the go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • ¾ cup dried apricots, chopped (about 100g)
  • ½ cup natural almond butter (125g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (60ml)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (20g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. If your apricots are a bit tough, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften, then drain well.
  2. Use a food processor to pulse the apricots into small chunks, or finely chop by hand.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Stir in the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything starts to clump together.
  5. Fold the chopped apricots into the mixture. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra honey.
  6. Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. You should get roughly 12-15 bites.
  7. Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Once chilled, these bites are ready to eat! Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

If mixture is too crumbly, add more almond butter or honey. If too sticky, add more oats. Chopping apricots finely is key for texture. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and add a bit more oats to compensate for softness. Store in refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
