Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 pieces whole almonds
- 1 cup soy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and almond flour.
Add the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a sticky mixture.
Using your hands, shape the coconut mixture into 12 small rectangular bites, about 1 inch long each.
Press a whole almond gently on top of each coconut bite to adhere slightly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the coconut-almond bites on it.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip each coconut-almond bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
Return the chocolate-coated bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set by placing the bites in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
Once set, store the Soy-Free Mini Almond Joy Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
