Ingredients
  

For the Base

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine the dried pineapple chunks and shredded coconut. Pulse until finely chopped and mixed, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add rolled oats, almond butter, honey, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the processor. Pulse for 1-2 minutes until sticky and well combined.
  3. Take a tablespoon-sized portion and roll it into a ball. Dampen hands slightly if the mixture is too sticky.
  4. Arrange the rolled energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Transfer chilled Pina Colada Energy Bites to an airtight container, storing in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
