5 steps

Ingredients

1 cup Dates
1/2 cup Walnuts
1/2 cup Almonds or Cashews
1/4 cup Shredded Coconut
1/4 cup Oats or Quinoa Flakes
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
1 tablespoon Flax Meal*
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 cup Shredded Coconut

Directions

1

Soak dates in hot water for few minutes, drain, set aside and keep liquid.
2

Pulse nuts until fine in food processor and add remaining ingredients and dates. Mixture should be moist and hold together, if too dry add date liquid a little at a time. Mixture should not be too wet, it will clump together in processor when ready.
3

Shape into walnut sized balls and roll in shredded coconut, I use unsweetened but your preference for sweetness.
4

Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in freezer. Approximately an hour or longer. Transfer into an airtight tin or container and keep in refrigerator or freezer - stores up to two weeks, if they don't get eaten up!
