Sugar Free Chocolate Coconut Balls

Sugar Free Chocolate Coconut Balls

1/2 cup 100% nut butter

1 cup mixed unsalted nuts finely chopped 

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao 

1/2 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)

5 Tbsp coconut oil at room temperature

1/2 tsp vanilla essence (or peppermint flavour)

1 tsp cinnamon

(optional adding flaxmeal or chia)

Combine everything in a bowl and mix squishing the coconut oil with a spoon to help blend and melt it slightly so it mixes in evening.   Either roll in balls and into the extra coconut or spoon onto grease proof tray and sprinkle with coconut.  Place in the fridge to harden.  Store in the fridge or freezer. Why not add some blueberries (fresh or frozen) or raspberries  spread the mixture out onto a tray and refrigerate until hard then cut up, you have a healthy kinda cherry ripe thing (cherries aren’t suitable on the low fodmap diet so this is the next best thing).
