Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: o minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Noor Dates, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup nut butter
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut, shredded, plus 1/3 cup for rolling
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Add the chopped dates, water and nut butter to a food processor. Pulse until the dates are chopped to the size of peas and the nut butter is fully incorporated.
Add the date mixture to a large bowl. Next, add 1 cup of coconut, cocoa powder, coconut oil, oats and salt to the bowl. Combine the mixture with a spoon. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut to a plate and set aside.
Scoop one heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hand and roll the mixture into a ball. The balls should be about the size of a golf ball. Next, roll the ball into the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut and cover all sides with the coconut. Place the ball on a plate and continue the process for the rest of the balls.
Chill the balls for 30 minutes in the fridge before eating. You can store the power balls in a air-tight container in the fridge for 4-5 days…but it is highly unlikely that they will last that long!
Enjoy!
