GAPS/AIP/PALEO/KETO Fat Bombs (Compare to Power Balls)

Have you ever been desperate for an AIP dessert only to shrink in horror at the cost of those little round treats? Here is my best shot at a DIY home recipe in 6 flavors! Enjoy 😋

Yield: Each recipe makes about nine two-inch size balls.

Instructions: Place all ingredients except for honey and coconut milk in a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse on low (Vitamix speed 3) several times until just beginning to clump. In a glass measuring cup, combine the coconut milk and honey together until completely integrated (honey dissolved). Pour the liquid into the food processor over the dry ingredients gradually while processing on very low speed, until completely combined and wet. The mixture will be quite soft and wet. Separate it into nine equal sections, roll into a ball, and then roll in the extra coconut flakes. Place on a cookie sheet (I like to use a silicone baking sheet on top), and refrigerate until well set. Keep refrigerated until use. You can remove them from the fridge to take on the go as long as they don't sit out in extreme heat.
