Coconut Balls

I make these like I make peanut butter balls - just toss the ingredients in! You'll have to play with this recipe a bit to get it how you like it. Great way to get extra coconut oil into your diet, but make sure you keep 'em cold.

1 c. virgin unrefined organic coconut oil, softened
1/2 c. almond flour (preferably ground soaked dehdyrated almonds)
1/2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut
1/8 c. agave nectar (or more as desired)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla

Extra shredded coconut

Mix it all together, adding more almond flour to make it less sticky. Roll into balls, then roll in shredded coconut. Or you can smash flat in a pan and cut after it's cold. Keep refrigerated. Sometimes I add currants or other chopped dried fruit.

Add 1 TBS cocoa powder to make a chocolate version (may need more sweetener.)
