Less than 10 minutes start to finish. No cooking, baking, soaking, chilling or prepping involved. Literally just mix the ingredients and scoop into balls.

Seriously SIMPLE. Real-food ingredients. Simply mixed. Magically transformed into a delectable treat your tastebuds will love (and your body will, too!)

Seriously wholesome. Completely healthy enough for breakfast! Really. Full of protein, fiber, healthy fats, and ZERO added sugar (no sugar crash!) So EAT CAKE FOR BREAKFAST. Yess!! =D

Healthy Holidays

Sometimes I get a little carried away around the holidays. I could polish off a batch of Christmas cookies like nobody's business back in the day, haha.

Now I'm trying to be healthier, and sometimes I just need a break from *all* added sugars (even unrefined ones like maple syrup). I still wanna have my cake and eat it too, don't you? 

If you look around, there's sugar EVERYWHERE around the holidays.

But you don't have to give in to the carb craziness if you're watching what you eat.

The solution is HOMEMADE. Stay away from the sugar laden, highly processed stuff and make your own using REAL food. It's so much healthier! 🙂

>> TIP: use a microplane to make zesting your oranges SUPER QUICK and easy.. like 15 seconds for an entire orange. Seriously one of my FAVORITE kitchen gadgets ever.

Ingredients

• Heaping ⅔ cup almond butter
• ⅓ cup coconut flour - + more for rolling
• Zest of 2 navel oranges
• ¼ cup orange juice
• 35 drops Sweetleaf vanilla creme stevia - to taste
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of pink salt

Instructions

• Stir together all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Adjust if needed -- If too dry, add a splash of orange juice or a drizzle of avocado oil. If too wet, add a sprinkle of coconut flour. Sweeten to taste.
• Make balls with a small cookie scoop. Use the palms of your hands to squeeze them smooth and into shape.
• Lightly roll each ball in a small bowl of coconut flour (about 1-2 Tbs). Optional - freeze or chill for 10 minutes to firm up, if desired. ENJOY 🙂

Notes

What I used: these stevia drops coconut flour, microplane and cookie scoop

To make homemade almond butter, blend 1 ½ cups dry roasted almonds in a food processor for about 5 minutes until liquefied.

Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or frozen for 4-6 weeks. (They're great frozen, too!)
