Xanthan Gum Free Carob Coconut Energy Bites
These little no-bake bites are packed with warm, chocolatey-adjacent flavor from carob powder, toasty coconut, and a gentle kick of Ceylon cinnamon and ginger. The dough comes together with just a bowl and a spoon — no mixer, no oven, no fuss — and firms up beautifully in the fridge into satisfying, snackable spheres. Every ingredient here is naturally free of gummy binders and thickeners, so there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label. Tigernut flour gives the base a subtly nutty, slightly sweet body that pairs perfectly with the richness of coconut oil and honey. Rolling them in extra coconut flakes before chilling adds a delicate texture on the outside that makes each bite feel a little more special. They keep well in the fridge for up to a week, which means you can make a batch on Sunday and have a grab-and-go snack ready all week long.
