Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus freezing time

Yield: 12 servings

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1-1/2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons raw honey

3/4 cup blanched almond flour

  1. Whisk together the coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla, and honey.

  2. Using a rubber spatula, gently mix in the almond flour until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix, or the batter will become oily.

  4. Roll chilled dough into 12 balls (2 teaspoons per ball) and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
