Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chia seeds, and almond flour. Mix well.
- Add the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. Ensure they are compact and hold together.
- Coat each ball by rolling it in the extra shredded coconut. This will give them a beautiful, textured appearance.
- Place the finished balls on a dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Helpful Tips
- For a different flavor twist, add a tablespoon of cacao powder to the mixture for a chocolaty treat.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more coconut oil or honey.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour.
