Here's a quick share of a little goodie I found online awhile back at the Sprouted Kitchen. These little goodies are vegan, dairy and sugar free and so good!
Remember our love of coconut haystacks! This is a the best homemade recipe I've tasted.
You can find the full recipe, as well as Sprouted Kitchen's beauuuuuutiful food photography here.
Here's my own take on making these cocoa coconut goodies.
Cocoa Coconut Haystacks (adapted from Sprouted Kitchen)
This is my ingredient list for a half batch (makes 12). Full batch recipe here.
3/4 cup dried, unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 Tbsp rolled oats
3 Tbsp maple syrup (I use a little less sweetener than the SK recipe)
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
a dash of cinnamon
Preheat oven to 215F. Mix the dry ingredients, then stir in the syrup, oil and vanilla extract. Use a melon baller to scoop out to form 12 balls approx 1-inch diameter and space evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes on middle rack. For a raw treat you can skip the baking step and keep the cocoa coconut balls in the fridge.
Delish with a mug of chai. Hope you are having a good week, my friend. xxCara
