No-Bake Recipe: Coconut Snowballs (Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, & Vegan!)

When it comes to cookies, deliciousness usually arrives in the form of ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, nuts, and chocolate. So what happens when you can’t eat any of these foods? In my case, you start playing with coconut.

INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 cups 

unsweetened shredded coconut, divided

2 teaspoons 

melted coconut oil

3 tablespoons 

maple syrup

2 tablespoons 

unsweetened coconut milk

1/2 teaspoon 

vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon 

ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon 

salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Place 1 cup of shredded coconut and coconut oil in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process, scraping down the sides periodically, until it reaches a paste-like consistency. (It does not have to be completely smooth like butter; some coconut texture is good.)

Add the maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and process until well combined. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut and pulse until just combined.
