Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes
1/2 cup pineapple, finely chopped
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup oats
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the dried coconut flakes, chopped pineapple, honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the oats to the mixture and stir everything together until well combined.
- Take small spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
- Once they’ve chilled, they’re ready to serve. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
If you prefer a different flavor, substitute the pineapple with dried mango, apricots, or mixed berries.
For added texture, roll the balls in extra coconut flakes or a dusting of cinnamon before refrigerating.
To make the balls more indulgent, dip them in dark chocolate before refrigerating.
Add chia seeds, flax seeds, or chopped nuts for extra crunch and nutritional benefits.
If using fresh pineapple, adjust the sweetener as fresh pineapple may be juicier and less sweet.
