Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, mashed
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Clean your workspace and gather all ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the pineapple until it resembles chunky applesauce.
- Add shredded coconut and almond flour to the mashed pineapple; mix well.
- Drizzle in maple syrup and vanilla extract; combine until sticky but not overly wet.
- Form small balls (about an inch in diameter) using your hands or a cookie scoop.
- Place formed balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
- Fresh pineapple yields the best flavor; canned may be overly sweet.
- Roll the balls in additional shredded coconut right after shaping for an even coating.
- For variations, consider swapping pineapple with mango or adding nuts for extra crunch.
