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 :)
