Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional for coating)
Instructions
Place the raw almonds in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not completely turned into a powder.
Add the pitted dates to the food processor and pulse until they’re broken down and combined with the almonds, forming a sticky mixture.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt to the food processor. Pulse again until all the ingredients are fully combined into a cohesive dough-like texture.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make about 12 balls.
If using shredded coconut, spread it out on a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut to coat them evenly.
Place the honey almond date balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Enjoy these healthy and naturally sweet snacks straight from the fridge or at room temperature!
