Method
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure they’re evenly mixed.
- In a small saucepan, gently melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat once completely melted.
- Add the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the coconut is coated and the mixture holds together.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute maple syrup for honey. For a healthier version, use unsweetened shredded coconut. Make sure to mix thoroughly to achieve the right consistency.
