Makes 12-15 balls

Ingredients:

¼ cup shredded dried unsweetened coconut, plus more for topping

1 ½ cups toasted pecans

1 cup dried cranberries

½ cup almond or peanut butter

½ cup maple syrup

1 Tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

1 Tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)

Directions:

In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process to form a stiff paste or meal. Alternatively, mix ingredients by hand for a chunkier texture. Form into tablespoon-size balls and roll in coconut to coat. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Note: Depending on the consistency of your almond/peanut butter, you may need to add additional maple syrup if the paste is too dry or additional coconut if the paste is too wet. Adjust quantities until you have a workable dough that you can easily roll in your hands.
