Cookie Dough Coconut Balls
A vegan, raw cookie dough that you won’t feel guilty eating for breakfast! These balls are energizing and wholesome, as long as you’re not afraid of a lil’ chocolate. With natural sweetness from the dates and healthy fats from the cashews and coconut oil, these make the perfect snack to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Servings 10 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews
- 10 dates, pitted
- ¼ cup shredded raw coconut
- sprinkle of salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbs coconut oil
- 3 Tbs chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by pulsing the cashews in your blender or food processor until there are no large pieces. I like to get them as close to a powder as possible.
- Add the dates to food processor with cashews, pulse/blend until well mixed in with the cashews. Add the coconut oil to keep things moving.
- To the date and cashew mix, add vanilla, sprinkle of salt and shredded coconut. Pulse until incorporated and dough is formed.
- Mix in chocolate chips. Form balls with your hands, using about 1 tablespoon of dough for each ball.
- Let set in fridge for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
If your dough seems to dry to form a ball, try adding 1 tablespoon of water.
