No Bake Date Coconut Balls Recipes

COCONUT DATE BALLS

Steps:

• Pit the medjool dates and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes until they soften
• Place the pitted dates and pecans in the bowl of a large food processor. Blend on high until a thick "dough" is formed and the mixture feels sticky.
• Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball. If you have time you can let them set in the fridge for 5 minutes.
• Roll the energy bites into desiccated or shredded coconut pressing gently so they adhere. Makes about 12-14 bites.

CHEWY NO BAKE COCONUT DATE ENERGY BALLS

Steps:

• Add the pitted dates to a food processor and pulse until the dates break down into smaller pieces. About 1-2 minutes.
• Add in oats, coconut, maple syrup, oil, and salt.
• Process until the mix turns crumbly and everything is well incorporated. About 1-2 minutes. The mix should stick together when you form a ball, but it shouldn't stick to your hands. Do not over-process or you'll lose texture in the final energy balls.
• Roll into 8-10 bite-sized balls and set them in the fridge to firm up. Enjoy! These will keep well for about 5-7 days.
• For hikes, grab a few energy balls and store them in a stasher bag in your backpack for an easy snack on the trails!
