• servings: Makes 24 balls
• total time: 43 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup pitted Medjool dates

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

2 tbsp ground flaxseed

1 tbsp sunflower seed butter (no added sugar

2 tbsp cacao powder

Hot coffee or water (for soaking)

Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Directions

Add pitted Medjool dates to a bowl and pour hot coffee over them. Let soak for 10 minutes, then drain.

Spread coconut flakes on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F for 3-3.5 minutes, watching closely so they don’t burn. Remove and let cool slightly.

Add the soaked dates, toasted coconut, flaxseed, sunflower seed butter, and cacao powder to a food processor. Blend until a sticky dough forms.

Scoop and roll into balls.

Top each ball with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
