Here, these Coconut Date Balls are bite-sized snacks that offer a portable pop of on-the-go energy, made with dates for sweetness (so no added sugar is needed), shredded coconut, and a fragrant hint of cinnamon. 

 

Coconut Date Balls

 

Ingredients

3 tablespoons shredded, unsweetened coconut
7 ounces of pitted dates (about 28 Deglet Noor)
3 tablespoons whole natural almonds
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place the coconut on a small plate. Place the dates, nuts, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Using a rounded teaspoon of the mixture, press it into a ball with your fingers, then roll the ball into the coconut, pressing down somewhat so the coconut adheres. Repeat with the remaining mixture and coconut.
