Date and Coconut Energy Balls
These date and coconut energy balls are a quick and easy snack. Made with dates, coconut, biscuits and walnuts, you will be lucky if you can keep up with the demand. I love having a batch of these stored in the fridge for the boys to on and to add to their lunchboxes. The best thing about them? They are super easy to make! You only need 7 ingredients, 15 minutes and a food processor.
Servings: 12 Pieces
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 15 Dates Pitted
- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- 1 cup Coconut Biscuits Crushed
- ¼ cup Walnuts
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Essence ¼
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Pit the dates if need be and soak them in hot water for at least 10 minutes.
- While the dates are soaking, crush the biscuits.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, add all your ingredients, including the dates. Pulse until fully combined, scraping regularly down the sides. Remove and place into the fridge to chill for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Using your hands, form the balls and roll them in coconut until evenly covered.
- I suggest weighing the mixture before rolling it out into balls to ensure even sizing. (I made mine 20g each).
- Once finished, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. (You can also freeze them for up to 6 months.)
