Description
Chocolate Coconut Bliss Balls are bite-sized, no-bake treats made with oats, almond butter, cocoa powder, and coconut. They’re a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make snack that satisfies your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup natural almond butter (or any nut butter)
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional toppings: extra shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture using a spatula or your hands until everything is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make the mixture firmer and easier to roll.
- Form Balls: Once chilled, take a small amount of the mixture (about one tablespoon) and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into balls.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Roll the balls in additional shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder for an extra burst of flavor.
- Store: Place the bliss balls in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer shelf life.
Notes
If you don’t have almond butter, substitute with peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.
To make the recipe vegan, replace honey with maple syrup.
You can add mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or chia seeds for extra texture and flavor.
Feel free to double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch.
If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the oats in a food processor before mixing.
