Instructions
Meatballs:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl and mush together
- Roll the meat into balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet (about 15 balls)
- Bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes

- Drizzle the sauce over the meatballs as soon as they come out of the oven
Quick notes
The meat may seem a bit sticky but the meatballs will set up perfectly once baked. You may be able to substitute almond flour for the coconut flour. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid so you may have to play with the amount.
Coconut Aminos are available online or at Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage in the Asian sections.
