Ingredients
  

1 cup pitted Medjool dates

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of your choice)

1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: 1-2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates with the almond butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process until the mixture is completely smooth and sticky, ensuring that all ingredients are well blended.

    Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the unsweetened shredded coconut and rolled oats into the blended date mixture. If you choose to include chocolate chips or cacao nibs, add them during this step as well. Pulse the food processor a few times until all ingredients are fully combined, but retain some texture from the oats and coconut.

      Shape the Bites: With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Make sure to compress the mixture firmly in your hands to ensure the bites hold their shape.

        Coat with Coconut: Roll each formed ball in a plate of extra shredded coconut to create a lovely and flavorful coating on the outside. This not only enhances the flavor but adds an attractive finish to your bites!

          Chill: Arrange the coconut date bites on a tray lined with parchment paper, and place them in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes. Chilling will help them firm up, making them easier to handle.

            Serve & Enjoy: After chilling, your Coconut Treasure Bites are ready to be served! For optimal freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
