Note

If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add a small amount of water or extra maple syrup, one teaspoon at a time.

For a nut-free version, ensure all ingredients are processed in a clean machine to avoid cross-contamination.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Toasting the coconut enhances the flavor; simply spread it on a baking sheet and toast in a 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) oven for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
