Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Sunflower Seeds - ground
  • 1/2 cup Dates - pitted, chopped
  • 1/2 cup walnuts - chopped
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder - unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup Almond Butter - creamy

  • 6 ounces coconut for coating - unsweetened

Instructions

  • So simple and delicious.
  • Grind the sunflower seeds in your Food Processor
  • Chop up the dates and walnuts.
  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • My method of preparation is that I divide the mixture in half.
  • Use your hands. It makes everything so easy.
  • Divide the mixture in half and then half again ... and so on and so on until you get 48 sections.
  • Roll into balls with the palm of your hands.
  • You can always pinch out a little from the balls that are a little bit larger if you would like to make more.
  • Roll each ball in the shredded coconut.
  • Put on a cookie sheet and let freeze for about to hours.
  • Remove and serve.
  • They will also freeze for up to 2 months.

  7. Ginny, these look amazing. I love anything with maple and coconut. I think they would be the perfect snack for after a run. Pinning!

  9. I would love to say I would share these with the kids, but I think I might just eat the whole batch myself!! Perfection!

  10. I seriously need to jump on the no-bake bandwagon. I make ice cream but it doesn’t really count, there’s too much work involved. Dates and chocolate sound like a great combination but I have a feeling these would be dangerous to have a around.

  14. These look amazing! I’ve made date balls before for quick snacks, but I’ve never thought to add cocoa to the mix. Sounds like the perfect way to get my chocolate fix without the added guilt. 🙂
