photo by recipe author

Servings: 20 cookies
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cookies:

2 cups shredded coconut (I re-hydrated mine by soaking for a few hours because it was really hard, if you have softer coconut you probably don’t need to soak)
6 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for truly raw, you could raw honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or dried vanilla bean powder)
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Maple-Cinnamon Icing:

1/4 cup packed dates
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or raw honey)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons coconut oil
Water to thin

Combine all ingredients for cookies. Roll into balls, place on a wax-paper lined flat surface and press into a round cookie shape.

Combine ingredients for glaze in a food processor. Pipe onto cookies. Top with nuts if desired. Freeze until hardened.

Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Balls

Photo by Ann M Huddleston

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter of your choice
1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter of your choice
1/4 cup honey or brown rice syrup
1 cup oat flour, you can grind your own oats or you can even grind half and use half oats or all oats
1/3 cup coconut flour – you can also use shredded low-moisture unsweetened coconut and grind it
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Mix peanut butters, honey or brown rice syrup, oat flour and coconut flour until it forms a dough-like consistency.

Add more peanut butter or flour to get the right consistency.

Roll into balls – size of your choice and put on foil.

Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil – if you want to have the Peanut Butter Balls completely covered with chocolate, double the chocolate and coconut oil. To not completely cover the balls, use a table spoon and drizzle chocolate on each ball until you get the amount of coverage you’d like. To completely cover them, throw the balls in the chocolate and remove with spoon- cool on foil. Refrigerate if your house is hot but let warm up a bit before eating.
