Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups dried dates, pitted
- 4 Tbsp. creamy almond butter, unsalted
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
Instructions
- Add dates to a bowl of a food processor and pulse until large crumb like consistency. If the mixture turns into one large ball, use your fingers or a spoon to pat it down.
- Add almond butter and continue to pulse until small crumbs/thick paste is formed. If the mixture is not coming together or a little dry, add the smallest splash of water and then continue to pulse.
- Form the mixture into 1 1/4 inch balls and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Add coconut into a small shallow bowl and roll the date balls in the coconut.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature, away from heat, for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Dates: There is no need to soak the dates first, unless they are really dry and hard, then soak in warm water for about 10 minutes.
- Almond Butter: It’s best to use almond butter without any added sugars, oils, or salt for this recipe.
