1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats; GF if needed)

½ cup almond butter (or peanut/sunflower seed butter)

½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened preferred)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

¼ cup mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed

¼ tsp almond extract (or vanilla for a cookie-dough vibe)
