INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, banana, lentils, and honey into a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scrape down the sides and pulse again. Transfer to a bowl using a spatula.
2. Stir in chocolate chips and oil until fully incorporated. Stir in the coconut flour until fully combined.
3. Roll into bite-size balls, about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) in size. Cover and refrigerate or freeze for 5-10 minutes.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge to snack on during the week or freeze for later.

Quick tip: Coconut flour can be subbed with almond flour. Stir in enough flour as needed to easily roll the balls.
