Ingredients

1 cup Medjool dates room temperature and pitted
½ cup Peanut butter 100% peanuts
¼ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup Flaxmeal
¼ cup Slivered almonds
¼ cup Desiccated coconut
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 pinch Salt

Instructions

In a food processor, add all the ingredients and process on high for at least 1 minute (you may need to pulse and then scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl with a spatula). The texture of the mixture will be crumbly, yet able to hold together.
1 cup Medjool dates, ½ cup Peanut butter, ¼ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup Slivered almonds, ¼ cup Desiccated coconut, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 pinch Salt, ¼ cup Flaxmeal
Line a tray with parchment paper. Scoop out some of the mixture using a spoon and shape into a ball about 1 inch (2½ cm) diameter using your hands. Place the balls onto the parchment paper lined tray without touching each other. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Place the tray into the fridge for at least one hour so they can harden. Then transfer the balls into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to two weeks.
