Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Put the almonds in the mixing bowl and blend 8 sec/speed 6 until they are in small pieces.
- Add the dates, the oats, the cocoa, the peanut butter and the salt.
- Blend 20 sec/speed 6 until you get a sticky, homogeneous dough.
- Check that the dough binds when pressed; if it is dry, add 1 more date and repeat 10 sec/speed 6.
- Form little balls with slightly damp hands.
- Coat each ball in grated coconut.
- Refrigerate 30 minutes so they firm up before serving.
Tips
- Nutritional note: natural energy from the dates and good fats from the nuts.
- They keep up to a week in the fridge in a closed container.
- Swap the coconut for cocoa or sesame to vary.
