Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even baking.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded coconut, crushed pineapple, almond flour, honey, and salt until you achieve a uniform mixture.
- Form the bites: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bites turn a golden brown color, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the bites to cool completely before serving to let them set firmly.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess moisture making the mixture too wet.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, but adjust sweetness accordingly.
- Store the bites in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Feel free to add a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- These bites are naturally gluten-free and can be part of a low-fat diet if honey is used sparingly.
