As I’ve recently decided to cut down my (refined) sugar intake, I’ve discovered absolutely delicious date bars! These however a pretty expensive when bought in supermarkets. I decided to make them myself. This is not only the cheaper option, at the same time you can decide which ingredients you want to use.
I have one of the simplest recipes for you. These coconut-date-balls are made in 5 minutes, and they only require 3 ingredients!
In case you don’t have a high power blender – don’t worry. I used a very simple and inexpensive food processor. Please read the notes below the recipe for further instructions when not using a high power blender.
The coconut-date-balls are
- healthy
- sugar free
- vegan
- raw vegan
- gluten free
- lactose free
- simple to make
- incredibly delicious
Coconut-Date-Balls {Only 3 ingredients | Raw Vegan}
Print RecipeIngredients
- 100 g soft pitted dates
- 50 g cashews
- 30 g coconut flakes + 30 g for coating
Instructions
Blend the dates, cashews and coconut flakes in a high power blender (see notes).
Roll balls – mine were about 13 grams each – with your hands.
Optional: Place the remaining 30 grams of coconut flakes into a shallow bowl and roll the balls (while still slightly sticky) gently through the coconut flakes until coated.
Notes
Unfortunately I do not have a very powerful blender, so I had to soak my dates and cashews in water (1-2 hours in cold water OR ½ hour in hot water).
