Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces pitted dates
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 pieces whole almonds
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, unsweetened shredded coconut, raw almonds, almond butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and sea salt.
Pulse the mixture until it becomes a sticky, somewhat coarse dough. The dates should be well chopped and dispersed throughout the mixture.
Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a ball with your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Gently press one whole almond into the center of each ball, reshaping as needed to ensure the almond is secured within the ball.
Place the completed Almond Joy Bites onto a parchment paper-lined tray.
For the best texture, refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to a month.
