Description
Bright, chewy, and impossibly simple, these Coconut Pineapple Bites combine juicy fresh pineapple and toasty shredded coconut for a refreshing snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple: cut the fresh pineapple into small, roughly 1/4–1/2-inch pieces and pat lightly with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pineapple and shredded coconut, stirring gently.
- If using, add honey or maple syrup and almond flour; mix until a cohesive, slightly tacky mixture forms.
- Scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Transfer to an airtight container or plate and enjoy!
Notes
Fresh pineapple is recommended for brightness; canned pineapple may be too syrupy. Adjust moisture by adding almond flour or shredded coconut as needed.
