Coconut Pineapple Bites
These no-bake Coconut Pineapple Bites are the perfect tropical snack! Made with crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and natural sweeteners, they're healthy, easy, and totally addictive.
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple well-drained
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup coconut flour or almond flour
- 2/3 tbsp tbsp honey or maple syrup to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- **Drain Pineapple:** Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the crushed pineapple using a paper towel or cheesecloth.
- **Mix Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine drained pineapple, shredded coconut, coconut flour, honey/maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix until a dough-like texture forms.
- **Adjust Texture:** If too dry, add a touch more honey or syrup. If too wet, sprinkle in a little more flour.
- **Form Bites:** Scoop small portions and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- **Optional Coatings:** Dip half of each ball in melted white chocolate or roll in extra shredded coconut or chopped nuts.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
- **Serve & Store:** Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Make it vegan: Swap honey with maple syrup and use dairy-free chocolate if dipping.
- Add a protein boost: Mix in 1–2 tablespoons of hemp seeds or a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Flavor twist: A touch of lime zest or ground ginger adds a zingy kick to the tropical flavor.
- Storage tips: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw a few minutes before enjoying.
- Serving ideas: Perfect for lunchboxes, post-workout snacks, brunch platters, or late-night sweet
