Ingredients

Filing

2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g) I used peanut butter

Cookie dough

4 large soft medjool dates, pitted and chopped (80 g) about 1/2 cup pitted and chopped
2 tbsp coconut flour (14 g) sub oat flour, vegan protein powder, or quick oats might work too

Coating

2 tbsp shredded coconut (10 g) sub cocoa powder, oat/almond/coconut flour, quick oats

Instructions

Drop 8 tsp balls of nut/seed butter on a piece of parchment and freeze until completely frozen, at least a few hours, ideally overnight. I was able to roll mine into balls but the shape doesn't matter as long as they're frozen solid.
In a bowl mash your chopped dates with a fork. If they're not soft enough to mash cover them in water, microwave 30 sec and drain the water out. Try again.
Add coconut flour, pinch of salt and a drop of vanilla and mash again to form a smooth dough. If too dry add a drop of water and mash again. Should be smooth and not too sticky, like cookie dough. If too wet, you can add a pinch of more flour.
Take a tablespoon of date cookie dough and wrap around a frozen ball of nut butter. Repeat until all balls are wrapped, cover in coconut flakes and freeze again to set.
Enjoy your treats frozen or refrigerated!
