Ingredients
-
1 cup
Dates
-
1/2 cup
Walnuts
-
1/2 cup
Almonds or Cashews
-
1/4 cup
Shredded Coconut
-
1/4 cup
Oats or Quinoa Flakes
-
1 tablespoon
Chia Seeds
-
1 tablespoon
Flax Meal*
-
1 tablespoon
Pure Vanilla Extract

Cinnamon
-
1 cup
Shredded Coconut
Directions
-
Soak dates in hot water for few minutes, drain, set aside and keep liquid.
-
Pulse nuts until fine in food processor and add remaining ingredients and dates. Mixture should be moist and hold together, if too dry add date liquid a little at a time. Mixture should not be too wet, it will clump together in processor when ready.
-
Shape into walnut sized balls and roll in shredded coconut, I use unsweetened but your preference for sweetness.
-
Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in freezer. Approximately an hour or longer. Transfer into an airtight tin or container and keep in refrigerator or freezer - stores up to two weeks, if they don't get eaten up!
-
* 1 tablespoon of cocoa may be substituted for flax-meal if desired.
