Free from gluten, dairy, egg and refined sugar, low FODMAP and vegan optional
Serves: 10-20 (makes 20 balls)
Prep time: 15-20 min
Total Time: 1.5 hr
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C desiccated coconut
- 1 1/2 C almond meal
- 1/2 C coconut oil
- 1/3 C rice malt syrup
- 1/2 C coconut butter
- 4 tsp ground turmeric

- 2 Tbsp plain collagen powder (optional)
Method
- Place desiccated coconut, almond meal, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, ground pepper (and optional plain collagen) in a large bowl
- Put coconut oil and coconut butter in a saucepan and melt on a low heat. When melted, add the rice malt syrup and heat for 1 minute
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and combine until mixture clumps together (you need clean hands for this job)
- Gently roll into tight balls and place on tray (mixture isn’t as ‘sticky’ due to the absence of dry fruit)
