Dates are a kitchen staple in my home because they are naturally sweet and incredibly satisfying. I always keep a bag in the pantry to use as a healthy alternative to processed sugar or for a quick grab and go snack.

These simple bites take just a few minutes to put together. My best tip is to use soft Medjool dates, as they blend perfectly and give the bites a chewy texture that everyone loves.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the pitted dates and raw almonds into a food processor.

  2. 2

    Pulse the mixture until it becomes a sticky paste that holds together when you press it between your fingers.

  3. 3

    Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the bowl.

  4. 4

    Pulse again for a few seconds to make sure all the flavors are mixed in well.

  5. 5

    Scoop out small spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands.

  6. 6

    Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until it is evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Store the finished bites in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.

💡 Tips

You can keep these bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. If you want to change the flavor, try swapping the almonds for walnuts or adding a dash of cinnamon to the mixture.
