Coconut Treats!!!! Just 69 calories each!

As soon as I posted this picture of tonight's "naughty" treat, requests for the recipe were coming at me left & right! So I compelled to update the blog asap with this savory recipe. Nutritional information below is based off of one coconut treat & not taking the powdered sugar to top it off with into consideration. I will attempt to make this same treat next time with rolled oats & coconut oil & hope it can transform it into a "no bake" recipe! 






Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/8 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 tsp vanilla

*You're going to need some extra powdered sugar to top off the treats with*

Makes 18

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients & form the dough into balls (this is super easy & not sticky icky at all!). Bake for 15-20 mins (Mine took 15). Once they are done, roll the balls around in the powdered sugar.
