Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates pitted
- 1 cup pecans
- ¼ cup unsweetend shredded coconut
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Add dates, pecan, shredded coconut, vanilla, and salt to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to stick together. You'll know you pulsed it enough if it holds together when you try to clump a portion together with your hands
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls
- Refrigerate the date bites for 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm.
Notes
- Don’t over-pulse the mixture because if you over-pulse, the pecans will begin to release natural oils, and it may be more difficult to work with.
- If the mixture is too sticky, add a little extra shredded coconut or pecans. If the mixture is hard to pulse, use a spoon to scrape down the sides as needed.
- If your dates are soft and sticky, no soaking is needed. If they feel dry or tough, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes, then drain well before using.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform bites.
