Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour and arrowroot powder.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the coconut milk and coconut oil until just melted and combined. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, coconut aminos, and salt.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each ball as they will spread slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the mochi bites are firm and slightly golden on the edges.
Remove the mochi bites from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Whole30 Mochi Bites as a wholesome, grain-free treat!
