Ingredients
- 1.5 cups nuts see note, raw
- 1 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1/3 cup nut butter see note, or seed butter, of choice
- 1/4 cup cacao nibs optional
- 2 Marine Collagen brand Vital Proteins, scoops
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup see note***
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 3 tablespoons water cold
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Add the raw nuts to food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and process until a thick paste has formed. The dough should be sticky.
- Roll the fat ball mixture into 16 to 20 balls. Store in a zip lock bag in the refrigerator or freezer (balls thaw quickly, so I store mine in the freezer).
Notes
- *I used 1 cup raw almonds and ½ cup macadamia nuts, but you can use any combination of your favorite nuts.

- ***Use 2 to 3 tablespoons zero-sugar sweetener such as Erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or xylitol or a few drops of liquid Stevia to make these a completely sugar-free ball for a ketogenic diet.
- Erythritol
- monk fruit sweetener
- xylitol
- If you have it on hand, use sugar-free confectioners sweetener for a less grainy consistency, or use sugar-free maple syrup.
- If you aren't on a ketogenic diet, you can increase the amount of pure maple syrup to up to 5 tablespoons for a sweeter ball.
