Almond Coconut Energy Balls Recipes

COCONUT ALMOND ENERGY BITES

Steps:

• Soak the dates in a bowl with hot water and allow to soften for just a few minutes. Remove the dates from the water and wipe them with a kitchen towel.
• Pulse 1/2 cup of almonds in a food processor if you want the energy bites to have a smooth texture and 3/4 cup of almonds if you want a more crunchy texture. You want them to break down into smaller pieces. If you used 3/4 cup of almonds, remove 3 tablespoons of pulsed almonds to a bowl, set aside.
• Add the 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, almond butter, sea salt, and any optional seeds, along with the dates to the food processor and continue to pulse until a soft dough ball forms. Taste and add additional salt to taste. Remove the dough ball to a bowl and add the reserved 3 tablespoons of pulsed almonds (if using). Roll the dough into small balls - you'll get about 12-16 pieces. Then roll the energy balls in the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. Place on a baking sheet and allow to harden in the refrigerator or freezer. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

ALMOND COCONUT ENERGY BALLS

Steps:

• In a big bowl combine both flours, salt, desiccated coconut and chocolate.
• Microwave your almond butter on high for 30 seconds to make it runny and then stir in vanilla.
• Add this to the flour mixture and knead into a dough adding tea as necessary. You should be able to form this with your hands easily like you would form cookies. Depending on your flours and almond butter you will need more or less liquid. Just make sure this does hold together well without being sticky.
• Roll into bite-sized balls and refrigerate until ready to use (I left mine over night).
• Enjoy!
