Snacking doesn’t have to be a disaster. Having these on hand for those sweet tooth moments is a total win. They are very very easy to make, quick, and you can easily modify them with anything you happen to have on hand.
I always have dates in my fridge, they last long, and I make so many variations of this snack all the time. Dates are so underrated, they provide a big energy boost, and are sweet you would almost swear there was sugar in these. I make a chocolate version I will definitely share soon!
No Bake Coconut Almond Oatmeal Bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pitted dates
- 3/4 cup roasted unsalted almonds
- 1/4 cup quick cook oatmeal
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
-
In a food processor, add the almonds and pulse a bit to break them up into pea sized pieces.
-
Turn it on, then add the dates a couple pieces at a time and keep blending until it is all crumbled.
-
If it balls up add a 1-2 tsp water, and the ball will break into a paste.
-
Using a spatula, scrape out the mixture into a bowl.
-
Add the oatmeal, and most of the coconut. (Keep the rest of the coconut to roll them in at the end)
-
Mix well by hand, this will be a little messy 🙂
-
Wash your hands because hell, I'm sure you need to at this point. Then take small amounts and roll in your palms till it becomes a ball ( a little smaller than a golf ball).
-
Then roll around in the shredded coconut, that way you get more yummy coconut and they won't be sticky at all on the outside.
-
Cover, chill and serve! (if they even last that long)
