Chocolate-Date Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 16-17 dates (pitted)
- 80-100g rolled oats
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (or other nut butter)
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1-2 tbsp espresso (shot, not powder)
- Pinch of sea salt
- Coconut shreds
Preparation
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, rolled oats, peanut butter, cacao powder, espresso, and a pinch of sea salt.
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky paste that can be easily shaped into balls.
Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
Spread the coconut shreds on a plate. Roll each energy ball in the coconut shreds to coat them.
Place the coated energy balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate them for a little while to chill and firm up.
Once chilled, your chocolate-date energy balls are ready to enjoy as a delicious snack or dessert!
