Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons carob powder
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 8 pieces medjool dates (pitted)
• 3 tablespoons almond butter
• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Add rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like texture.

Step 2

Add carob powder, pitted dates, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture until everything is well-combined and forms a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water and pulse again.

Step 4

Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using your hands.

Step 5

Place the extra shredded coconut in a shallow bowl and roll each ball in the coconut until evenly coated.

Transfer the carob balls to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
