instructions
    1

    Begin by finely chopping the pineapple into small pieces. You want it to blend well with the oats.

    2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats and chopped pineapple. Ensure that they are well mixed together, which should take about 2 minutes.

    3

    Add honey, coconut flakes, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt into the bowl. Stir everything together until fully combined; this should take around 3 minutes.

    4

    Once your mixture is well combined, use your hands to form small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Take your time to make sure they are compact, which should take about 5 minutes.

    5

    Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined tray, and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to firm them up before serving.
