  2. In a medium size skillet over medium heat, cook your bacon until nice and crispy.
  3. Transfer to a paper towel on a plate when finished, and set aside.

  5. Crumble bacon over blueberries and add all the other ingredients.
  6. Thoroughly mix everything together with your hands.
  7. Roll about 16 meatballs. Layer the pan with coconut oil.
