Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 8 Medjool dates (pitted)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dates: Add the pitted Medjool dates to a food processor and pulse until the dates break down into smaller pieces, about 1 minute. This helps create a sticky base for the energy balls.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, raw honey, coconut oil, and salt to the food processor with the dates.
  3. Process Mixture: Process the ingredients together until the mixture turns crumbly and well incorporated. This should take about 1-2 minutes. The texture should be sticky enough to hold together in a ball but not so sticky that it sticks to your hands.
  4. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 8-10 bite-sized balls using your hands. If the mixture is too soft, chilling helps firm them up.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the energy balls in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the balls hold their shape better.
  6. Store & Enjoy: Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for 3-4 days, perfect for snacking on the go or taking on hikes.
  7. Pack for Hiking: For outdoor adventures, grab a few chilled energy balls and store them in a sealed container in your backpack for a natural, energizing trail snack.

Notes

  • For best texture, use Medjool dates as they are softer and stickier than other varieties.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more honey or a small amount of water to help it bind.
  • You can roll the balls in additional shredded coconut or cocoa powder for extra flavor and texture.
  • These energy balls are naturally sweetened, so no additional sugars are needed.
  • Store in the fridge to maintain freshness and firmness.
  • To extend shelf life, energy balls can be frozen for up to 1 month.
