Date Balls

I saw a recipe for date balls floating around recently but can't find it. Does anyone happen to have one?

There are a couple of recipes in this thread...

Also Olive's recipe ...

200g oat
20 dates
4 tbs coconut oil
Dash vanilla
Choc chip or dried fruit if you wanted...

Process oats till fine, add coconut oil, dates and vanilla, process (looks like wet bread crumbs)
Stir through dried fruit etc...roll into ball.

The coconut oil binds them, so they will go hard in fridge etc..but are fine left out as long as its not too hot

Also good with cocoa added.


I also have a recipe with pumpkin seeds/sunflower seeds as well. Will post tomorrow

1.5 cups walnuts
18 medjool dates
1 tsp vanilla powder
1/3 cup cacao
2 tsp water
1tsp mesquite powder
1/4 tsp sea salt

1. In a food processor, grind the walnuts and sea salt until fine.
2. Add the dates and process until dough forms. Next add the Cacao Powder, Vanilla Powder and water until mixed well.
3. Scoop out a tbsp of dough and form into a ball. Pat down into a mini brownie shape and press half a walnut on top.

I got this recipe from a friend, and she uses just vanilla essence/extract, and skips the mesquite powder.
When I made these I also rolled them in coconut, super yum either way!! :)

what size are the balls? golf ball or big marble?

in ball recipes with coconut oil, do you melt the oil, or use the solid form?

Walnut sized nd coconut oil not melted!

I used a heaped teaspoon worth and rolled it up :)

I melt my coconut oil.

tried Olive's recipe and modified it a bit (had natural muesli rather than oats) and it was a winner.

got a few more things in the cupboard so going to experiment this arvo.

i have some raw cashews. thinking of smushing them in too. (for non-kinder ones)
