Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grated coconut unsweetened
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oatmeal I have used quinoa flakes too w/ great results
- 1/4 cup pecans or other nut of choice
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt optional
- 8 Medjool dates pitted
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips Enjoy Life or any dark chocolate in smallish pieces.
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter or ANY nut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toast the coconut in a clean, dry pan over medium heat (it will start to turn golden and smell heavenly!) Set aside.
- In the bowl of the food processor, place the toasted coconut, oats (or leave out if you like a chewier rolled oat texture), pecans. sea salt. Pulse a few times to break up and turn into fine pieces/powder.
- Now add your dates, and process to mix. No large chunks of date should be visible when you are done.
- Gently melt or soften your chocolate chips in a glass measuring cup in the microwave, or in a pan on the stove. They do not need to 100% melted, just very soft so they can blend into the oat mixture.
- Add melted chocolate and sunbutter into the food processor, and pulse to blend thoroughly. May add any of the healthy add ins now too if you choose.
- Form into balls using a cookie scoop to keep your hands clean and place into refrigerator to harden. I use about a tablespoon per cookie.
