Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¾ cup shredded coconut, divided
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar
- ¾ cup frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, almond flour, and ½ cup of shredded coconut. Pulse in short bursts until the mixture is well combined and broken down into small bits.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil and agave nectar. Pulse again briefly to mix everything together thoroughly.
- Add Raspberries: Add the frozen raspberries and pulse in short bursts to incorporate them and create a textured batter.
- Adjust Batter Consistency: Test the batter’s taste and texture. If it’s not sweet enough, stir in an additional tablespoon of agave nectar. If it’s too wet, add more ground flaxseed or shredded coconut and mix until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Form Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion the batter into equal sizes. Roll each portion into a ball and then roll it in the remaining shredded coconut to coat.
- Store: Place the coconut balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute agave nectar with honey or maple syrup if preferred.
- Ensure the raspberries are frozen to help the mixture bind better without additional liquid.
- For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before using it to coat the balls.
- These balls can be stored in the freezer for up to one month; thaw before serving.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized balls to ensure even texture and appearance.
