Rice Free Carob Coconut Energy Bites
These no-bake bites are rich, earthy, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat — without a grain of rice or rice-derived ingredient anywhere in sight. Tigernut flour and tapioca starch do all the binding work here, giving the dough a satisfying texture that holds together beautifully once chilled. Carob powder brings a deep, chocolatey warmth that pairs perfectly with the toasted coconut and the gentle heat of Ceylon cinnamon and ginger. A drizzle of honey and a hit of vanilla round everything out into something that tastes far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. Rolling them in coconut flakes before refrigerating adds a little extra texture and makes them look genuinely snack-worthy. They firm up in the fridge and keep for up to a week, so you can make a batch on Sunday and have grab-and-go energy all week long.
