0.50 cup natural almond butter
0.50 cup Medjool dates, pitted
0.33 cup shredded coconut
0.25 cup cranberries, dried
0.25 cup pecans, chopped
3 tbsp dark chocolate mini-chips (I used the Enjoy Life brand)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
0.25 tsp salt
Plus...extra shredded coconut to roll the balls in – about 2-3 tablespoons
1
Add almond butter and pitted dates to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until mixture has a "crumbly -doughy" kind of consistency.
2
Next scoop the blended mixture into a small bowl and add in everything else.
3
Mix a little bit by hand to combine everything, then roll into small, bite-size balls.
4
Finish each with a roll through a plate with 2-3 tablespoons of shredded coconut.
- These will keep for about 2 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container or small plastic bag. Can also be frozen for about 4 months, then thawed and enjoyed.
- If your mixture seems too wet to roll into a good ball, just add a little more shredded coconut and roll again. If the mixture feels a little dry, just add a little coconut oil and re-roll.
