Categories     Candies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1¾ cups unsweetened, flaked coconut
about 25 whole almonds, toasted
1 giant bar of dark chocolate - my choice is ghiradelli
2 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
  • 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
  • 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
  • 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
  • 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8. a pinch of salt
  • 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
  • 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
  • 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
  • 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
  • 13. Enjoy!

ALMOND COCONUT ENERGY BALLS



Almond Coconut Energy Balls image

These tasty little treats were inspired by Katie's post for lemon poppy seed no bake cookies that she shared on her blog just a couple of days ago: http://www.katiekdid.com/2012/03/27/lemon-poppy-seed-no-bake-cookies/ I made them my own adding in some chocolate and desiccated coconut in place of the poppy seeds and using a home-made almond butter in place of the coconut butter. Also I eliminated the lemon flavour due to my citrus allergy. I really like these as a not so indulgent treat that keeps me going and makes me happy. I hope you do, too!

Categories     Candy

Time 15m

Yield 15 small balls

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup almond flour (I ground up some whole almonds for this)
1/2 cup coconut flour (I ground up some unsweetened desiccated coconut for this)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
1/2 tablespoon grated chocolate (or grind some chips in your food processor until they're quite small)
1/4 cup almond butter (I used my home-made vanilla version without added fat or sugar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 -3 tablespoons black tea (can use water, too)

Steps:

  • In a big bowl combine both flours, salt, desiccated coconut and chocolate.
  • Microwave your almond butter on high for 30 seconds to make it runny and then stir in vanilla.
  • Add this to the flour mixture and knead into a dough adding tea as necessary. You should be able to form this with your hands easily like you would form cookies. Depending on your flours and almond butter you will need more or less liquid. Just make sure this does hold together well without being sticky.
  • Roll into bite-sized balls and refrigerate until ready to use (I left mine over night).
  • Enjoy!
