Ingredients

    • 1 cup desiccated coconut (ultra-fine, unsweetened)
    • 1/2 cup almond flour
    • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat, stirred well)
    • 1/4 cup maple syrup

 

  • Optional:
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 10 raw almonds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Mix coconut, almond flour, maple syrup, and coconut milk in a bowl. Add almond extract and salt if using.
  3. Adjust texture: add more maple syrup if too dry, more almond flour if too wet.
  4. Using a scoop or hands, form compact dough balls. Place on tray, flatten gently, and press a raw almond in the center.
  5. Bake 12 minutes, until edges are golden.
  6. Cool completely on tray before transferring to a rack to firm up.

Notes

  • Use sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free version.
  • Swap sweetener with date syrup, agave, or honey.
  • Add mini chocolate chips or drizzle with melted chocolate for variation.
  • Enhance flavor with cinnamon or cardamom.
  • Top with dried fruit or flaky salt instead of almonds.
