Servings: 36 balls
Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- 14 medjool dates pitted (fresh, soft and sticky)
- 8 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut toasted
- 1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher sea salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pulse dates in a food processor until a paste forms. Add the almond butter, flaxseed, ¼ cup of toasted coconut, oats, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse until combined (see picture above). It should look like a thick crumb mixture. Pinch the mixture in between your fingers to see if it holds. If not, add 1 tablespoon warm water to the mixture and pulse for 15 seconds. Continue if needed until the mixture is sticky (but not too soft, you want it to hold its shape).
- Transfer mixture to a medium mixing bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Using a mini or standard size cookie scoop, portion the dough, then roll into smooth balls with your hands. Store in a ziploc bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving, or for up to 1 week.
Notes
You can easily swap out the chocolate chips for more nuts, dried fruit or seeds.
