Servings: 8
- 1.5 cups shredded coconut
- 1.5 cups pitted medjool dates
- 1 cup raw unsalted almonds
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the shredded coconut on a sheet pan and spread out. Transfer to the oven and toast for about 5 minutes (or until coconut is golden brown). Remove from oven.
Place 1 cup of the toasted coconut inside a large food processor. Add the dates, almonds, chia seeds, cacao powder, instant coffee, maple syrup, and sea salt. Pulse for 3-4 minutes, or until a sticky "dough" begins to form.
Using your hands, roll into 1.5-2 inch balls. Place the remaining toasted coconut on a small plate or shallow bowl and roll each ball in the coconut.
Store at room temperature in an air tight container, or in the fridge.
