Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
This recipe is the saviour of 'I have no time but want something sweet' moments. A healthier, fibre-rich version of the classic coconut ball, where ground biscuit is replaced by oats. Due to the slowly absorbed carbohydrates of the oats and the natural sweetness of the honey, this is a perfect energy bite before a workout or for a snack.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the dry ingredients (oats, 50g coconut, cocoa, salt) in a bowl.

Tip: Salt highlights the chocolate flavour (flavour enhancer), never skip it in sweets!
2 ✓

Add the wet ingredients (honey, milk, vanilla). Mix thoroughly until you get a sticky mass.

Tip: If the honey has crystallised, warm it up slightly so it is runny and mixes in more easily.
3 ✓

Let the mixture stand for 10-15 minutes on the counter.

Tip: This is the most important step: the oat fibres need time to absorb the moisture (hydration), so the mass becomes mouldable and the ball soft.
4 ✓

With wet hands, shape walnut-sized balls, then roll them in the remaining desiccated coconut.

Tip: The water layer on your hands prevents sticking and helps the outer coconut layer adhere better to the ball.
5 ✓

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before consuming.

Tip: In the cold, the fats (coconut oil in the coconut) solidify, so the ball gains its final, firm consistency.

Recipe FAQ

The mixture is too soft, what should I do?
Put it in the fridge for 10 minutes before shaping, or add a little more oats. The oats will absorb moisture over time.
