Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure they’re evenly mixed.
  3. In a small saucepan, gently melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat once completely melted.
  4. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. 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.
