Enjoy gathering these items for a fun kitchen adventure! Start by gathering a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of rolled oats. Next, scoop in 1/2 cup of almond butter.

Toss in 1/4 cup of sprinkles for fun and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor. Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything well. The mix should feel sticky but hold together when squeezed. If your mix feels too sticky, add a little more almond flour. You can also use coconut flour if you prefer. If it seems too dry, just add a bit more almond butter or honey. This step is key for making perfect bites that hold their shape.

Roll these portions into bite-sized balls using your hands. If you want, roll some of the bites in extra sprinkles for a festive touch.
