Combine the tigernut flour, shredded coconut, and collagen in a medium bowl and mix.

Stir in the maple syrup and coconut oil and stir until well combined.

Mix in the mini chocolate chips (or the carob chips below for AIP).

Prepare a plate lined with parchment paper. Begin rolling the mixture into balls (you'll have about 7-8) and place them on the plate. Finish with sea salt if desired.

Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until solidified.

Eat chilled and enjoy!

Prepare an 8x8" pan lined with parchment paper.

Melt coconut oil on low heat in a saucepan on a stove top and stir in the maple syrup when liquid. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, add the carob powder. Slowly pour in the liquid and stir to combine with the carob powder.

Pour the mixture into the pan and chill for at least an hour in the fridge.

Carefully remove from pan and chop up into small chips to add to the bites.
