Hey sweet friends! 👋 If you’re craving a little something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven, these no-bake pecan coconut bites are a cozy treat you’ll want to keep around. Perfect with a cup of tea or as a quick pick-me-up in the afternoon! 💕
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped pecans 🥜
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 🥥
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup 🍯
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Directions:
- Toast the pecans & coconut:
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans and shredded coconut for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until golden and fragrant. Let them cool a bit. - Mix the gooey stuff:
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. - Combine & chill:
Add the toasted pecans and coconut to the bowl and mix everything together. It should be a thick, scoopable mixture. - Roll into bites:
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, form into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray. - Chill to set:
Pop them into the fridge for 20–30 minutes until firm.
🎉 That’s it! Keep these bites stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).
