Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
In your food processor, pulse the almonds until they reach a coarsely chopped consistency.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, oats, almond butter, chia seeds, almond essence, maple syrup, dark chocolate drops, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and forms a sticky dough.
Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, your Almond Joy Energy Bites are ready to enjoy!
