    Can you possibly use real maple instead of flavoring? We tap our trees and I was wondering if I can use what we tap. If I can use it should I use the fresh from the tree liquid or the reduced down syrup?

      Absolutely! It will taste divine. The consistency should be no issue with this recipe. Let me know how it goes, Courtney!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe, Andrea – I have been searching for a simple energy/fat bite recipe like this for awhile now! How much sweetener do you use if you’re making the recipe with unsweetened coconut flakes? Do you keep them in the fridge and how long do they last? I can’t wait to try these!

      They last indefinitely in the fridge, Heather. But, if everyone likes them, they’ll be gone in no time. I don’t add sweetener because the coconut flakes taste sweet already. But, if someone is just coming off sugar they may need to add a tablespoon of something.

    Hello Andrea ~ Thank you so very much for your time and commitment to helping everyone! I don’t feel so quite alone anymore.
    I wanted to ask you – Is there another binding agent that can be used in your Maple coconut butter bites in place of butter? I’m am going on the mold detox diet and wont be able to use the butter due to the sugar content. Thank you again so very much!

      You can certainly try coconut oil. That should work.
