Cherry Chocolate Chip Energy Bites

In a large bowl, combine oats, dried cherries, chocolate chips, and chia seeds. Set aside.

In a small, microwaveable bowl, add almond butter and honey. Microwave for 15–20 seconds, or until almond butter melts slightly so that it is easier to stir. Let cool slightly, if needed.

Remove from microwave and add vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until mixture is smooth.

Pour almond butter mixture over oat mixture and stir to combine, ensuring all of the oats are covered. If the mixture seems too wet, add 1 tablespoon (or more) of oats, until it comes together. Place bowl into refrigerator and chill for 15–20 minutes so that mixture holds together and is easier to shape into balls.
Once mixture is slightly firm, form into small balls.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
