Vegan Chocolate Coconut Energy Balls
A tasty, naturally sweet treat that will keep you energized and fulfill those chocolate cravings! Perfect for prep cooking to keep your healthy eating on track.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour or about 1 cup almonds ground down to flour
- 1.5 cups medjool dates about 15 dates
- 1.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup shredded unsweetened coconut more to coat the energy balls
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients in to a food processor or high powered blender.
- Blend on high until everything is combined.
- The mixture should stick together when formed in to a ball. If it doesn't, try adding another date or two until it does.
- Form the mixture in to 8 balls, then roll through them through additional coconut if you'd like.
- Store them in the refrigerator. I take mine out about 10-30 minutes before I'm going to eat them. They'll keep well in the refrigerator for a few days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months when properly sealed.
Notes
You can make your balls smaller if you'd prefer to lighten up the calories. These are also delicious with some mix-in options like ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, nuts, dried cherries, or some chia seeds.
