Coconut Energy Balls , No-Bake Healthy Snack Recipe

Method

Combine the rolled oats, 40g of Desiccated Coconut, Coconut Sugar, chocolate chips, and salt in a large bowl.

Add the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon more honey. If too wet, add a tablespoon more oats.

Roll the mixture into 12 even-sized balls using slightly damp hands to prevent sticking.

Spread the remaining 20g of desiccated coconut on a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut until evenly coated.

Place on a tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Tips

• The desiccated coconut coating gives each ball a lovely texture and prevents them from sticking together during storage.
• Coconut sugar adds a subtle caramel sweetness without the sharp sugar spike.
• These keep in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Grab one straight from the freezer , they defrost in minutes.
