Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of Medjool dates, pitted (about 10–12 dates)
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dates by pitting them if not already pitted and place them in a food processor.
- Add almond flour, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor. Blend until a sticky dough forms.
- Roll small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into round balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the bites in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. For added sweetness, drizzle with honey just before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Don’t skip the chilling step; it helps the bites hold their shape.
- Ensure your dates are fresh and moist for the best texture.
- Use a food processor for a smooth and even mixture.
- Experiment with different flavorings to find your favorite combination.
