Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pineapple fresh or dried
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup oats
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine dried coconut flakes, chopped pineapple, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir in Oats: Add oats and mix until fully incorporated. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together when pressed.
- Form into Balls: Scoop small spoonfuls and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Chill to Set: Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Enjoy: Once set, serve 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.
