Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened coconut
½ cup pecans
¾ cup creamy almond butter
¼ cup sugar free maple syrup or keto-friendly sweetener of choice
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the coconut, pecans, almond butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until smooth, adding in a little water to help it come together if you used a powdered sweetener. Add pumpkin seeds and pulse until roughly chopped.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and then form into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
