Ingredients
For the Balls
- 1 cup large flake oats
- 1 cup toasted raw almonds
- 1/3 cup cocoa or cacao powder
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pitted dates (I used Medjool)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut milk ( I used canned)
For the Coating (optional)
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
For the energy balls
-
Place all other ingredients except the coconut milk in a food processor and process until it is smooth and starts to stick together, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining (1/3 c.) coconut milk in a stream until it the mixture holds nicely together when pressed with your fingers. You may not need all of the coconut milk.
For the coating
-
Put ½ cup of the shredded coconut and 1/4 cup of coconut milk in separate shallow bowls and set aside.
-
Roll a tablespoon of the mixture in your hands to make a ball, immerse each ball in coconut milk (so that the coconut sticks), and roll in the shredded coconut to coat. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
