In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and sea salt. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt honey and coconut oil until fully combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Roll the mixture into 6 evenly sized balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
