Recipe type: Snacks, Vegan, Gluten Free
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats
  • ½ cup unsalted roasted almonds
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted*
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup (about 12 dates) soft Medjool dates, pitted
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • About 2 tbsp water
  • 3 large strawberries, finely diced
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse the oats, almonds, coconut, and salt until medium-fine.
  2. Add the dates and almond butter and blend until a sticky dough is formed. You can add water 1 tsp at a time if it is too dry. The mixture should stick together when pressed between two fingers.
  3. Take a heaping tablespoon of the dough and flatten it into a circular disk. Place about ½ tsp or so of diced strawberries in the middle and wrap the dough around the filling, then roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
*This step is optional but provides a nutty flavour. Heat 1 to 2 tsp of oil on a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oats and cook the oats until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
**Toast coconut at 350°F for about 3 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they can burn easily!
