Ingredients (Makes 12 balls)
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Add the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond butter (or peanut butter), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sweetener.
Combine the Mixtures:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to form into balls.
Form the Balls:
- Roll the dough into 12 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
- Bake the breakfast balls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, enjoy them right away or store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. These breakfast balls are also freezer-friendly for longer storage!
Tips for Success
- Custom Flavoring: Add some sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a handful of dried fruit to customize your breakfast balls.
- Texture Adjustment: If the dough feels too dry, add a little extra almond butter or a splash of milk to get the right consistency.
- Storage: These breakfast balls can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or frozen for longer-lasting convenience.
