Dried Blueberry Coconut Balls - Paleo

I love healthy snack balls! They are fun to pop in when you have a craving, or need something small to tide you over before a meal, or are having a snack attack and want it to be good for you, and taste like it isn’t. 🙂

Blueberry Coconut Balls for Healthy Snack Attacks

Here’s a recipe for Blueberry Coconut Snack Balls that fits the bill perfectly!

Blueberry Coconut Snack Balls

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup of Coconut Flour

1/3 Cup of Dried Blueberries (I used these)

1/4 Cup of Avocado Oil or Coconut Oil

2 Tablespoons of Honey

1 Tablespoon of Ground Flax

1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice

1/4 Teaspoon of Sea Salt

1/4 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon

1 Cup of Toasted Coconut, Pulverized (I used Dang Coconut Chips that are already toasted, but you can toast your own.)

Directions:

In a medium bowl, add the coconut flour, flax, and salt. Mix with a whisk. In a separate bowl whisk together the honey, oil, vanilla and lemon juice. If using coconut oil, melt it just until runny. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry, and blend with a hand held mixer. Fold in the dried blueberries.

Place your toasted coconut in a mini food processor or use a mortise and pestle to pulverize the coconut flakes.

Now, scoop the dough into seven tablespoon sized balls, and roll in the pulverized toasted coconut.

Refrigerate and enjoy!

    I love how easy to make these seem, Sandra! But does the two tablespoons of honey truly make these coconut balls ‘sweet?’ Having a devil of a time reigning in the mister’s sweet tooth and keeping him away from sugar. He’s like a child! 😁

    Thanks!

      Awww! Yes! I understand, and the less sweetener we use, the more vegetables and other whole foods taste sweet! I haven’t tested the recipe without honey. You could try substituting coconut oil as it solidifies where avocado oil doesn’t, but I’m not sure how they would turn out. You definitely need to replace the liquid though because of the coconut flour. I’m okay having a little natural sweetener, and if I go too low carb I don’t feel well, but everyone’s metabolic engine is different! If you try them without the honey, let me know how they turn out! Thanks for your comment!
