Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all ingredients and equipment. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure your hands are clean for rolling.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Add shredded coconut. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond butter and vanilla extract. If using, add the sugar-free maple syrup. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or your hands.
Achieve Proper Consistency: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time. Mix until the mixture holds together when pressed. The consistency should be similar to cookie dough.
Form the Bites: Take about 1 tablespoon of mixture. Roll between your palms to form 1-inch balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.
Set and Store: Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated.
