These Coconut Almond No-Bake Bites are your perfect on-the-go snack with a delightful mix of chocolate, coconut, and almonds. Quick to prepare and even quicker to vanish, they're a treat you’ll want to make over and over!
Granulated sugar is what gives these bites their sweetness and helps bind the ingredients together. Unsweetened cocoa powder provides that rich, chocolatey flavor we all crave. Unsalted butter adds a creamy texture and a touch of richness, while almond milk keeps the mixture smooth and helps bring everything together without overpowering the other flavors.
Almond butter adds a deliciously nutty flavor and creamy consistency, making these bites truly indulgent. Rolled oats bring a hearty, chewy texture and keep you full longer. Shredded coconut adds a subtle sweetness and a hint of tropical flair, while vanilla extract enhances all the flavors with its warm aroma. Finally, a pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall taste.
These bites pair beautifully with a cold almond milk latte or a warm cup of herbal tea. For a fun presentation, stack them on a tiered plate for parties or gatherings. They’re also a great addition to a lunchbox for a midday pick-me-up!
Start by gathering all your ingredients and a medium-sized saucepan. In the saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and almond milk. Place it over medium heat and stir continuously. You want everything to melt and mix into a smooth, velvety base.
Keep stirring until you see the mixture come to a rolling boil, which is when it bubbles constantly across the entire surface. Once it reaches this point, let it boil for just one minute—this helps everything bind later.
Take the pan off the heat and add in the almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until it’s smooth and everything is well combined. It might look a bit glossy—that’s perfect!
Now, gradually add the rolled oats and shredded coconut. Mix until every bit of oat and coconut is coated in the chocolatey goodness. The mixture will thicken up as you go, so don’t rush it.
With a spoon (or a small cookie scoop if you have one), drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Try to make them uniform in size for even setting.
Let them cool at room temperature. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but you can pop them in the fridge if you’re in a hurry. Once set, they’re ready to devour!
