Step 1

In a microwave safe mixing bowl, add the syrup, nut butter, and coconut oil. Microwave in 20 second increments and stir until just melted.

Step 2

Add in the cocoa powder, shredded coconut, oats, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Use a medium cookie dough scoop or a spoon to scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture. (Tip: Wet your hands so the dough doesn’t stick to them.) Roll the dough into balls and place them on a parchment-lined or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet in the freezer until energy bites are firm, about 1 hour. Transfer the cookie bites to a freezer storage container or bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Step 5

When ready to eat, set out on the counter to thaw or microwave an energy bite for just 10 seconds or so.
