Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, liquified
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 tablespoon chia seed meal (1 tablespoon meal is equal to about 1/2 tablespoons seeds)

- 1/3 cup coconut flour, sifted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll into little balls and place on unbleached parchment paper.
