In a large mixing bowl, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, almond butter, and maple syrup. Gradually add in unsweetened shredded coconut, espresso powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a sticky dough consistency is achieved.

Fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch diameter balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Transfer chilled energy bites to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week.
