Notes
- You can add mini chocolate chips into the mixture or roll the bites in them for extra texture and chocolate bursts.
- If the mixture is too sticky, adding a bit more oat flour can help achieve the right consistency.
- These bites can be customized by swapping almond butter with peanut or cashew butter to suit your taste.
- Freezing the bites helps them last longer and offers a refreshing treat when eaten straight from the freezer.
