Zutaten

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled to just above room temp
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, preferably room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons all-spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup blanched almond flour*
• 3/4 cup carrots, peeled and finely-shredded (about 1 large carrot)
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely-chopped
• 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
• 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional*)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Add coconut oil to a small heat-resistant bowl or measuring cup and heat in the microwave until just melted (about 35 seconds). Set aside to cool until just about room temperature.

2. 2

   While the coconut oil is cooling, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, all-spice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well mixed. Add almond flour, carrots, pecans, and hemp seeds and gently stir with a spoon until combined. Lastly, add coconut oil and stir until the mixture is thoroughly dampened with oil and a dough forms.

3. 3

   Line a large, airtight container with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place in the container. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours (preferably overnight).

4. 4

   After the balls have chilled for at least 3 hours, remove from the refrigerator. If the balls have flattened on one side, re-form into balls with your hands if needed. If using it, add shredded coconut to a small bowl and roll ball in coconut until evenly covered.

5. 5

   Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
