Chocolate Almond Energy Bites

Step 1

In the bowl of a large food processor, pulse the almonds until finely ground (about 25 [1-second] pulses, but stop pulsing before the almonds turn to nut butter). Add the oats, almond butter, honey, cocoa powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and starts to ball up.

Step 2

Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls (or larger, if you prefer). Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
