Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (40g)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (125g)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (85g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (14g)
  • 2 tablespoons brewer’s yeast (20g)
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (45g) (optional)
  • 1/3 cup chopped almonds (40g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread rolled oats and shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine toasted oats and coconut, ground flaxseed, brewer’s yeast, and sea salt.
  3. Add almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix with a spatula or hands until a sticky, cohesive dough forms. Add water or almond milk by teaspoon if too dry.
  4. Fold in chopped almonds and mini dark chocolate chips gently.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into 1-inch diameter balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Yield about 15-18 balls.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Toast oats and coconut for enhanced flavor. Use firm, small-curd almond butter for best texture. Chill mixture if too sticky before rolling. Adjust sweetness if swapping honey for maple syrup. Do not overuse brewer’s yeast to avoid bitter taste.
