Ingredients
- 12 pieces pitted dates
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 pieces whole almonds
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, unsweetened shredded coconut, raw almonds, almond butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and sea salt.
Step 2
Pulse the mixture until it becomes a sticky, somewhat coarse dough. The dates should be well chopped and dispersed throughout the mixture.
Step 3
Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a ball with your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 4
Gently press one whole almond into the center of each ball, reshaping as needed to ensure the almond is secured within the ball.
Step 5
Place the completed Almond Joy Bites onto a parchment paper-lined tray.
Step 6
For the best texture, refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Step 7
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to a month.
