Ingredients
  

1 cup pitted Medjool dates

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling

1/2 cup raw almonds or almond meal

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates, raw almonds (or almond meal), and almond butter. Process the mixture until it becomes sticky and well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is blended evenly. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

    Add Flavor and Texture: Once the date mixture is smooth, add the unsweetened shredded coconut, pure vanilla extract, sea salt, and chia seeds (if using). Pulse the ingredients together for 10-15 seconds, or until the mixture is evenly combined and can hold its shape when pressed between your fingers.

      Form the Bites: With clean hands, scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. If desired, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to create a light outer coating. Place the finished bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate to prevent sticking.

        Chill: Once all the bites are rolled, place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up. You can also freeze the bites for longer storage. If frozen, allow them to thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.

          Serve and Enjoy: These No-Bake Coconut Date Bites make for a delightful snack, dessert, or energy booster any time of the day. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks for optimal freshness.
