Ingredients

  • 12 organic dates pitted
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened organic cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder from Metagenics (MetaKids)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional
  • ½ cup extra unsweetened creamy almond milk
  • ¼ cup puffed quinoa (And more for rolling the balls)

Instructions

  • Soak the dates in boiling hot water for at least 15 minutes, then drain.
  • Place the soaked dates in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until mostly blended.
  • Add coconut flour, the protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla and salt and process until a ball of smooth, sticky dough forms.
  • Add mini chocolate chips (if using) and pulse a few times. The chocolate chips are supposed to stay mostly whole so don’t overprocess. I used regular chocolate chips but mini ones would be better.
  • Add puffed quinoa and pulse a few times only.
  • Form the balls using a small spoon or a small cookie scoop, then roll into balls using your fingers.
  • Chill the balls in the fridge and enjoy!

Notes:

Store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge or up to 4 months in the freezer. You can add nuts like almond and cashews but since I made them for school. I made them nut free.
