- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Measure out all ingredients and set aside a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
- Add almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir with a spoon or spatula until a sticky, uniform batter forms. Add more honey or almond butter if mixture is too dry.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips gently to avoid melting.

- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
Notes
Warm almond butter slightly if too thick for easier mixing. Do not skip chilling to ensure proper texture. Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free version. Store bites in a single layer to prevent sticking.
