They look like truffles, don't they? Adorable. This recipe got me very excited. It comes together incredibly fast, requires no baking, and is an extremely healthy snack to have on hand. I'm awful at eating a substantial breakfast. I tend to drink an espresso first thing in the morning, make a green smoothie, and then I'm good until about 10 o'clock, when I need something....small. I've been shying away from store bought granola bars lately because the ingredients scare me. But I'm also a busy mom, so I was thrilled when I stumbled onto this recipe. They taste like a chewy granola bar (and remind me slightly of an Indian sweet). Perfect for traveling, taking to work, popping in your mouth before a run, and they'll last for days in the fridge. If you have kids, I swear you can feed them these as a dessert.
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup dried, finely shredded coconut (unsweetened, this is my favorite brand)
15 dates, pitted
1 T chia seeds
drop of vanilla extract
drop of almond extract
~1/4 c water
In a food processed, pulse oats, coconut, dates and chia seeds until crumbs are formed. Add vanilla and almond and pulse a few times. Add in water, while food processor is on. It will become sticky and pull away from the sides. Scoop out mixture and form small balls, placing on parchment paper. If desired, roll each ball in some extra shredded coconut. Store in fridge.
