Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)
- 1 cup desiccated coconut (or shredded coconut)
- 1/2 cup nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter)
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract)
Instructions
- Start by washing your fresh raspberries thoroughly. If using frozen, ensure they're thawed and well-drained.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of desiccated coconut, 1/2 cup of nut butter, and 1/4 cup of honey (or your chosen sweetener). Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much. You want to maintain some of their shape for texture.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix gently to incorporate the flavor into the mixture.
- With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each ball in additional desiccated coconut to coat them completely.
- Place the finished balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Once chilled, your Raspberry Coconut Balls are ready to enjoy!
