These no bake coconut bites are soft and creamy. They don't require any baking or cooking. They are just 3 ingredients and don't require any flour, eggs, refined sugar, butter or oil.
1cup (74g)desiccated coconut, plus additional 3 tbsp (15g) for rolling
1/2cup (126g)plain nonfat Greek yogurt
3tbsp (45ml)maple syrup
Instructions
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and syrup until smooth and well combined. Add the desiccated coconut and stir until evenly incorporated and a thick, scoopable mixture forms. Place the remaining coconut into a small bowl.
Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the mixture. Release the ball and lightly coat the ball in the small bowl of coconut. Then gently roll the ball between your palms to form a round ball. Place the ball onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture. If you are finding your mixture is too wet or sticky to work with, you can add more coconut to the mixture.
Place balls into the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up further. The balls are then ready to eat. Store uneaten balls in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
Notes
The amount can vary depending on the coconut you are using and the amount of moisture in your yogurt.
You can also make this with whole milk Greek yogurt. You will likely need less coconut if using whole milk Greek yogurt.
