Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling, if desired)

1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the almond flour and shredded coconut. Use a whisk or fork to combine them evenly, ensuring no lumps remain.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, scoop in the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is silky and fully integrated.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until a cohesive, dough-like consistency forms. If you're adding dark chocolate chips, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage.

        Shape into Balls: Take small portions of the mixture, roughly the size of a tablespoon, and roll them between your hands to form balls about 1 inch in diameter. If you like, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to coat for added texture and flavor.

          Chill: Arrange the snack balls on a parchment-lined baking tray. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and maintain their shape.

            Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, the Sweet Almond Coconut Snack Balls are ready to be served as a wholesome snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for maximum freshness.
