Add three tablespoons of maple syrup and a teaspoon of vanilla, and mix everything together until you have a thick dough, then pop it in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Once it firms up, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. I like to roll mine in a little coconut sugar for an extra sweet finish.
