Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 3/4 cup dried pineapple, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • Pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather cashews, shredded coconut, dried pineapple, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Chop the dried pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces for even texture and mixing.
  2. Blend the Nuts and Pineapple: Place the cashews and chopped dried pineapple into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but still retaining some texture, similar to coarse sand or small crumbs.
  3. Mix in Coconut and Sweeteners: Add shredded coconut, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blended mixture. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until well combined and sticky enough to hold shape.
  4. Shape the Bites: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Press firmly to help them hold together but keep them tender.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the shaped bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and enhance flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use raw cashews for best texture and flavor; avoid roasted or salted to control saltiness.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • If coconut oil is too liquid, chill slightly before mixing for better consistency.
  • Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and chewy.
  • Don’t over-process nuts and pineapple; leaving some texture improves the bite experience.
