No-Bake Date Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
Preparation
Soak the dates in boiling water for 10-15 minutes.
Once soft, remove from water and add to a food processor or blender, and set the liquid aside.
Pour in the oats, coconut, cacao powder, and nut butter.
Pulse until well combined.
If the mixture is too solid, add a tablespoon of the date liquid until sticky but manageable.
Prepare a small tray with wax paper.
Scoop the mixture into your hands using an ice-cream scoop or tablespoon.
Roll into balls and place on the wax paper.
Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes and enjoy.
