Ingredients

• 2 packed cups pitted Medjool dates
• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut (plus extra for coating the bites)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt

Directions

• Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Process until the ingredients are well incorporated and take on a dough-like consistency. (When the “dough” starts to form a ball in the food processor, youre good to go.)
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes. (This step is optional, but it’s easier to mold the balls when the mixture is slightly chilled.)
• With damp hands (I like to rub mine with a little coconut oil, but you do you), roll tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture into balls and place them on a plate or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Pour a little shredded coconut into a bowl (you shouldn’t need more than 3-4 tablespoons). Roll each bite in the coconut, using your hands to help press the coconut into the surface.
• Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
