Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Carob powder
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 0.33 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carob powder, almond flour, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until a cohesive dough forms.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll small portions of the dough into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on the lined tray.
Once all the dough has been shaped into balls, transfer the tray to the refrigerator. Allow the carob bites to set and firm up for at least 30 minutes.
Serve chilled as a snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
