Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for milder flavor
  • 1/2 cup Chia seeds or flaxseed meal as a substitute
  • 1 1/2 cups Rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1/2 cup Shredded coconut light or toasted
  • 1/3 cup Honey or maple syrup for vegan option

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Baking sheet or plate

Method
 

  1. Measure out all your ingredients: sunflower seeds, chia seeds, oats, coconut, and honey.
  2. Combine the sunflower seeds, chia seeds, oats, and coconut in a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together until evenly mixed, releasing a toasty, nutty aroma.
  3. Warm the honey slightly in the microwave or on the stove just until it’s pourable and slightly runny—this makes it easier to incorporate.
  4. Pour the warm honey over the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together with a spatula until the mixture is sticky, cohesive, and slightly glossy.
  5. Once fully combined, scoop out about a tablespoon of mixture and roll it between your palms to form a compact ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used, pressing gently to compact each bite.
  6. Place the bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly. Lightly press each one to slightly flatten if you prefer a thicker texture.
  7. Let the bites rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and the honey to set.
  8. For an even better chewy texture, transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  9. Enjoy these nourishing bites straight from the fridge or at room temperature—perfect for a mindful snack anytime.
