It’s the final day of my birthday-week, and the final day of not-quite-an-adult-week here on the blog.

To celebrate being a responsible adult, I accidentally set my toast on fire this morning (yes, flames were involved). And then I ate that slice of charcoal anyway. If this doesn’t reveal my ever so slowly developing maturity level…well, here’s a post about a big ol’ bowl of balls.
Cookie dough balls.
I was pretty sure “cookie dough” wouldn’t count for Laura’s Strange but Good–until I remembered that coconut flour is pretty darn strange to those who don’t spend their days browsing blogs (who are those people??). And the fact that I actually like a recipe that involves coconut flour? That’s definitely strange but good–strange, because I typically think coconut flour tastes like old laundry, and good, because I have a bag full of the stuff to use up. And now I can. One tablespoon at a time…
Ingredients
- 1T coconut flour
- 1t granulated sugar/brown sugar/fake sugar
- 1/8t vanilla
- 1/8t ginger
- 1T almond milk
Stir together with a fork. Roll into balls. Eat.

Have a BALL this weekend!
(Teehee…balls…)
I have Butt-Head’s voice forever stuck in my head. Any time I see things like that his voice will appear in my head and say, “She said … balls.”
Let’s just make February birthday Month!!
haha I have totally set my toaster and microwave on fire before. Serious disasters.
I like the sound of that! (The birthday month, not the flammable kitchen gadgets ;D )
I love any recipe that has equal parts flour and sugar
You can grow up next year
I make something very similar! But I don’t roll it into balls, I just leave it as a “cookie crumble”. It’s so delicious!!
MMM i bet the ginger makes these taste incredible!! Please don’t grow up anytime soon- you’re silly jokes always make me laugh really hard!
Hahaha – balls! I used to keep a very similar thing in my freezer for a quick snack. Mine had cacao nibs too… ’cause I like a little chocolate in my balls. #thatswhatshesaid
Yum! I love simple recipes like this son when I am craving a treat I, not sitting for 40 minutes licking the bowl and then eating a few muffins haha. I’ve actually never tried using coconut flour so on it for this recipe. Thanks Allie! Have a great weekend. Love + shine Courtstat
Hahaha I agree with Sara!
i’m making these balls. Like I am so making these balls.
You handle balls well.
Toast on fire totally substitutes a birthday candle. I hope you made a birthday wish while you were eating your charcoal.
Ginger eh? I need to make these. Also, I burn toast every other week and it’s extremely annoying. I forget that I need to lower the setting from 9 to 2 haha! Hope you had an awesome birthday week and have a great weekend!
Oh my God, seriously, HOW have I never thought of this?! I bet it would me amazing with almond extract…gah, I LOVE almond cookies! I’m so glad you’re fiiiiiiiiiinally
coming around to the coconut flour…it’s about time! Lol
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow!!
Oh, and PS…I just read back through ALL of your posts back to the beginning of DECEMBER! Holy hell…HOW did I get so far behind! You’re gonna have to tell me ALL about your Jamaica trip, San Antonio trip, and Christmas…and I can’t wait to see your hair…and your COUCH!!
Hahahaha I forget that things like coconut flour are weird to people. My boyfriend came over the other day while I was working on a gluten free protein donut recipe. bahaha
oh yum!! now these are some balls I wouldn’t mind having
You are my hero. Ya see, I bought a bag of coconut flour because it’s all the rage and it turns out, it’s not my rage. Now this bag is just sitting in my cabinet taunting me because I don’t really want to use it, but I can’t bring myself to pitch it. And along you come with your balls and a practical use for my coconut flour. My weekend is looking up.
Are you making fun of me now for my love of coconut flour??!! haha These look awesome! I don’t even know how I haven’t tried this before! Genius! I am making some tonight to top my casein!! Have a great weekend Allie!
mmm coconut done the right way is awesome! It is pretty easy to make it taste like ass though, so I’m always on the look out for good recipes. Also, I just about died when reading about your flaming toast. You crack me up!
LOVE it! I have a soft spot for coconut flour, but cant bake with it to save my life. I pretty much only use it for pancakes/balls, so thanks for the new recipe!!
Ohhh boy Allie- so many opportunities for TWSS jokes
! That bit about food looking weird to those who don’t browse blogs made me laugh- blogging sure gives us a warped sense of what’s normal eh 
! Either way these look delicious- do they havea hard texture?…KIDDING 
!
Hope you’re having a ball this weekend you burnt toast eater
Um. Yum.
Does 1 Tbsp. of coconut flour result in that many? Even my Monday morning confused brain doesn’t seem like that is possible. Or is that ‘per ball’? I’m trying to figure out the logistics of this.
sorry about the burnt toast. Well, talking about getting mature -maybe we will someday get there, no guarantees
hope you had a baller weekend!
How tasty!
