Description
Coconut Pineapple Bites are a delicious tropical treat made with crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and almond flour, perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, almond flour, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to help it firm up, making it easier to shape.
- Once chilled, use your hands to form small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If using chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle or dip the coconut bites in the melted chocolate.
- Return the bites to the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes to set the chocolate (if used) and firm up the bites.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add a tablespoon of lime juice and zest to the mixture for added flavor.
- Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
