Salted Coconut-Caramel Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 4 dozen pitted dates (about 3 cups)
- ¾ cup creamy sunflower seed butter
- 6 tablespoons warm water
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 6 tablespoons coarsely chopped toasted pecans
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Combine dates, sunflower seed butter, water, salt and vanilla in a blender. Blend until mostly smooth with a few small bits. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add oats and pecans; stir well.
- Place coconut in a small bowl. Scoop a tablespoon of the date mixture and roll it into a ball. (Dampen your hands to prevent sticking.) Roll the ball in the coconut to coat. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Enjoy!
