Nut Butter Coconut Balls
The perfect afternoon snack with a cup of tea.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla powder or extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tsp cocoa powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp allspice (optional)
- 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (plus extra to for coating)
Method
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until well incorporated. The consistency should allow you to easily form balls, if not then add small amounts of powdered nut flour such as almond until you get a workable consistency.
Roll about 1 tablespoon amounts between hands to form into balls.
Store in an air tight container in the fridge. These balls also freeze really well.
If you need nut free options – use a butter made from pumpkin and sunflower seeds instead.
