Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour, almond flour, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut cream, raw honey, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pliable.
Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a small ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving some space between each mochi bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mochi bites have a slightly golden color on top and are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
