Ingredients
- Dates150 g
- Oat flakes100 g
- Dark chocolate50 g
- Almonds50 g
- Coconut flour30 g
- Unsweetened cocoa powder30 g
- Almond milk2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon1 teaspoon
- Fine saltto taste
Procedure
0. If the dates are very dry, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes. This will help soften them and create a uniform texture in the dough. Drain them well and pat them dry with paper towels.
1. In a powerful blender, blend the rolled oats, almonds (or walnuts), cocoa, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until you obtain a coarse flour. Add the shredded coconut and mix.
2. Add the soaked dates, vanilla extract, and melted or chopped dark chocolate. Blend until the mixture becomes moist and sticky, easily compacted by hand. If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk to loosen the mixture.
3. With slightly dampened hands, take a small amount of dough and shape it into balls about 3 cm in diameter. Roll them in the shredded coconut to coat them evenly.
4. Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze them for about a month.
5. ✅ More protein? Add 1 tablespoon of protein powder to the cocoa or vanilla flavor. ✅ More intense flavor? Use peanut or almond butter for a rich, creamy touch. ✅ Chocolate-free version? Replace the cocoa with coconut flour or carob powder. ✅ Extra crunch? Add chia seeds or chocolate chips to the batter.
