These small pieces are full of espresso flavor, have a nutty crunch, and are just the right amount of sweet.

They’re great for a quick snack, a pick-me-up in the afternoon, or a breakfast on the run.

Also, they’re quite easy to make—no need to bake!

You should always have a batch of these in your fridge if you love coffee and almonds.

Ingredients

Use fresh espresso powder; it makes a big difference in taste! If the espresso powder is old, it won’t give you that strong coffee sensation.
Don’t blend; pulse instead. When you’re mixing the ingredients, pulse them in brief bursts so they don’t turn into a paste. You want some texture.
Change the sweetness: If you want it sweeter, add additional honey or maple syrup. Add more espresso powder if you want a stronger coffee flavor.
Chill before rolling: If you put the dough in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes before shaping the bites, it will be simpler to work with.
Wet your hands a little bit. This will make rolling the bites easier and keep them from sticking.

Mix the dry parts together.
Put raw almonds, rolled oats, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until everything is finely ground but still has some texture.
Put in the wet ingredients.
Add almond butter, honey, and vanilla essence in a thin stream. Pulse the mixture again until it starts to stick together. When you press it between your fingers, it should keep its shape.

Add melted chocolate to the mix.
Add the melted dark chocolate and pulse a few more times until everything is mixed well.
Make into bits.
Use your hands to scoop out small amounts and roll them into balls that are easy to eat. Put them on a platter or a baking sheet.
Take it easy and enjoy!
Put it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before eating. This makes them firmer and brings out the flavors.

No nuts? Use sunflower butter instead of almonds and sunflower seeds.
No honey? If you’re vegan, use maple syrup.
More chocolatey? Add another spoonful of cocoa powder or stir in more melted chocolate.
Different kinds of nuts? Walnuts or cashews are also nice.

These bites can be kept in the fridge for up to a week, so make a lot of them ahead of time for busy mornings or when you want a snack.

Keep in the fridge in a container that won’t let air in for up to a week.

You may freeze them for up to three months. Just let them thaw for a few minutes before you consume them.

These Espresso Almond Bites are full of flavor, quite simple to create, and great for anyone who love coffee.
