Ingredients
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

Instructions
Step 1: Mix Ingredients
• Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 2: Form the Bites
• Shape Mixture: Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, placing the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Chill
• Refrigerate: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the energy bites to firm up.
Step 4: Serve
• Enjoy: Once chilled, the energy bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
