makes about 20 treats

In a bowl with an electric mixer, cream 1/2 cup coconut oil.

Add and combine well:

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal + 1/4 cup water, combine and let gel a few minutes
3 packets stevia based sweetener
2 tablespoons coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Real sea salt

Add, mixing well:

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Then:

1/2 cup broken pecan pieces.

Drop by tablespoon size scoops and chill until ready to serve.  Garnish with cinnamon and stevia, if desired.  Enjoy!

Note:  1/3 cup unsweetened carob chips can be added at the same time as the pecans.  They'll need more care in scooping, but it's worth it :)
