Almond Butter Oat Balls in Steps
- Start by measuring out all your ingredients to make the process smoother and more efficient.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the old-fashioned oats, shredded coconut, and honey to the bowl. If using chocolate chips, add them now as well.
- Mix all the ingredients together using a spoon or spatula until evenly combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
- With clean hands, roll small amounts of the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a cookie sheet or plate.
- Place the formed oat balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and set.

Notes
- If the mixture is too dry, add more almond butter or coconut oil to help it hold together.
- If too sticky, add extra oats or shredded coconut to firm it up.
- Use old-fashioned oats to avoid a mushy texture.
- Chilling is essential for maintaining shape and firmness.
- Substitute almond butter with other nut or seed butters for different flavors.
