Order this list online
3 of 5 ingredients can go straight into the online basket in one action.
Anything sold by weight or volume is added as one pack, because this page does not know the pack size. Herbs counted in leaves or sprigs are one jar too: we list them dried, by the jar, not by the leaf. Adjust the quantities in the basket.
The basket opens in the online shop, which checks stock again and tells you what it could not add. Nothing is ordered until you check out there.
Preparation
Step by step, from pantry to plate.
Pit the dates if needed and place them in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes to soften, then drain well.
Add the dates, cocoa powder, oat flour, almond butter, and coconut flakes to a food processor or mixing bowl.
Blend or mash everything together until a sticky dough forms. If using a bowl, keep pressing and mixing until the dates break down evenly.
Scoop out small portions and roll them between your hands into bite sized balls.
Roll each ball in a little extra coconut flakes if you like, pressing gently so they stick.
Place the balls on a plate or tray and chill them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
Good to know
Wet your hands slightly before rolling to keep the mixture from sticking.
How these figures were worked out
Calculated from standard food composition tables for the raw ingredients as listed, before cooking. They are estimates of a recipe, not laboratory measurements of a finished dish.
Every figure here is for one serving at the quantities as written. The servings control changes the shopping quantities and leaves these figures alone.
These recipes are cooked in home kitchens, where the same boards, pans and utensils handle other foods. We cannot tell you what the dish you cook will contain. Read the label on every product you buy: the ingredient and allergen information on the pack is the authority, not this page.
No qualified reviewer has signed off these figures, so this page shows no vegan, gluten free or other dietary label. When one has, the labels return with their basis stated.
