2 c. blanched almond flour (although unblanched will work too. Just not as pretty)
1/8 tsp real salt
1/4 c. coconut oil
1/4 c. honey
2 tsp vanilla
2 T mini chocolate chips
In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil & honey on very low heat. Add vanilla when oil and honey are just melted and stir it in. Remove from heat. Mix together almond flour & salt in a small bowl. Pour honey mixture into almond mix. Stir. Add chocolate chips and mix. If you don't have mini chocolate chips, chop them up smaller so they will stay in the dough better. Dough will be sticky. Form 3/4" bite size balls. Put into a container and refrigerate (then they won't be sticky.) Makes approx 36 balls, but they'll go fast!

For a family full of nut allergies, what do you think would be a good replacement for the almond flour? Do you think it would taste as good with perhaps, oat flour? or whole wheat flour? Maybe with added vanilla? Sounds delicious! Was the coconut oil flavor very noticeable? Someone in my house can't stand coconut oil flavor. I'm going to experiment with this...
I'm sure you could try oat flour or whole wheat flour. I used almond flour because we were avoiding gluten! I didn't really notice the coconut oil being overpowering, but there may have been a slight taste.
