Hey there, breakfast lovers! 💁♀️ Let me spill the tea on my absolute favorite morning work snack that’s been making my colleagues jealous lately. Trust me, this isn’t your basic banana-and-granola situation – we’re taking breakfast to a whole new level with my Maple-Pecan Energy Bites!
These little balls of heaven are perfect for those mornings when you’re running late (story of my life!) but still want something nutritious and Instagram-worthy. Plus, they’re meal-prep friendly, which means more beauty sleep for us! 😉
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s worth the grocery trip):
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup chopped pecans
– 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter if you’re feeling classic)
– 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
– 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of sea salt (because we’re fancy like that)
Now, let’s get our hands dirty (but keep those nails clean, ladies! 💅):
1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined
2. Pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes (perfect time for a quick scroll through social media)
3. Roll into cute little balls (about 1 inch each)
4. Store in an airtight container

Tips from yours truly: These babies stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week, but honestly, they never last that long in my house! They’re perfectly portable for work, and I love sneaking one (okay, maybe two) during those endless Zoom meetings.
