- 1 cup gluten free oats

- 1 cup Desiccated Coconut

Let’s get started!
1. Firstly, preheat your oven to 190 degrees celsius. Stir all of your dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Pop your melted coconut oil into a bowl, then add the coconut nectar, mashed banana, almond butter, fresh ginger and turmeric. Give it a good old mix until nicely combined.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and combine together with a spoon or a hand whisk.
4. Time to get your hands dirty! Using your palms, take small parts of the mixture and roll into balls then place on a baking tray with a little coconut. Repeat until you’ve used all of the mix.
5. Bake! These will take around 20-25 minutes until browned and crispy.
