Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup (80 g) almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons carob powder sub cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (100 g) gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut optional
Instructions
- Melt. If needed, melt the coconut oil in a medium bowl.
- Combine. Add in the almond butter, maple syrup, water, carob powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Give it a good mix. Stir in the oats.
- Shape. Roll 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture into balls with damp hands to prevent them from sticking. If the mixture is too crumbly and falls apart when trying to shape balls, add another tablespoon of water to the mixture and give it a good mix. The added moisture should help it stick together.
- Coat (optional). Add shredded coconut to a small bowl or ramekin. Roll the balls into the shredded coconut.
