• honey - 50 grams
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• sea salt - 1/4 teaspoon

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, and sea salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy, then add the honey and vanilla extract, mixing well.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.
5. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into small mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each mound.
