Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 9 (200g) Medjool Dates (pitted) * See Note 1
  • 15 Cherries (pitted)
  • 1 cup (75g) Desiccated Coconut (unsweetened)
  • ⅓ cup (35g) Oats * See Note 2
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Cacao Powder

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until everything is finely chopped and the mixture comes together. (See photo above)
  • Roll into small balls. Mine were around ½ a tablespoon each, weighing roughly 13g. I made 28 balls from the mixture. 
  • Leave uncoated or roll in some desiccated coconut / cacao / LSA mix / crushed nuts etc.

Notes

  1. Fresh dates work best in this recipe. If your dates are quite dry and hard then soak them in some hot water for around 10 minutes. This will make it easier to blend. 
  2. If you are not avoiding nuts then almonds taste delicious in this recipe. Try substituting the oats with almonds or other nuts.
