There's nothing as comforting (and mouth-watering) as the smell of fresh gingerbread wafting through the air.
Step 1:
Melt coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan, then set aside.
Step 2:
Add remaining ingredients to a food processor, making sure to leave 1 cup of coconut flakes aside to coat the balls.
Step 3:
Pulse until rough and combined, adding a few tablespoons of water if needed. You should achieve a sticky, gluey consistency.
Step 4:
Using wet hands, roll into 50-cent-sized balls and place onto a tray lined with baking paper.
Step 5:
Once you’ve rolled all of the balls, sprinkle over your coconut flakes. Gently roll to cover them all, reshaping balls as needed.
Step 6:
Place in the refrigerator for an hour to set, then store in an airtight container.
