Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prep the Pineapple: If you’re using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and crush it into small pieces. Make sure to drain any excess juice.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed pineapple, almond flour, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes. This makes shaping easier.
- Shape the Bites: Once chilled, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into small balls or shapes of your choice. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you want to add a chocolate drizzle, melt your choice of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Once melted, drizzle over the shaped bites.
- Chill Again: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate (if using) and firm up the bites.
- Serve: Arrange your coconut pineapple bites on a platter and enjoy! They can be served chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Chill the mixture to make shaping easier.
