🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Combine Your Dry Powerhouses In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Stir these nutrient-dense ingredients together until evenly distributed. This is your superfood base!

Step 2: Create Your Chocolate Binding Mixture In a separate bowl, measure out almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix these wet ingredients vigorously until smooth and completely combined. The mixture should be rich and glossy.

Step 3: Bring It All Together Pour the wet chocolate mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold everything together until every oat and chia seed is coated in that gorgeous chocolate mixture. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now for extra indulgence.

Step 4: The Crucial Chill Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step is essential—the chia seeds need time to absorb moisture and bind everything together perfectly.

Step 5: Roll Into Bite-Sized Bliss Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, scoop out portions about the size of a walnut and roll them into smooth balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place each power drop on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6: Final Set Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes. This final chill ensures your power drops hold their shape and develop the perfect chewy texture.

Step 7: Fuel Your Body Your power drops are ready to energize your day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week—if they last that long!
