Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted and soaked in hot water
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup almonds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Pinch of black pepper
- ½ cup shredded coconut (for dusting)
Instructions
- Remove the pits from the dates and soak them in hot water for several minutes. Once softened, drain and place them in a food processor. Reserve the soaking water.
- Add the other ingredients (except the shredded coconut) to the food processor and blend until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of the reserved date-soaking water.
- Scoop the mixture using a small spoon and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut and place them on a baking sheet.
- Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
