Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (150g) Medjool dates, pitted and packed
  • 1/2 cup (65g) raw almonds
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (70g) dried apple bits, finely diced
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp (15g) shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions:

  1. Place the rolled oats, almonds, and pitted dates into the food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the mixture looks like coarse sand with a few small chunks remaining.
  2. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt. Pulse for another 10 seconds just to combine.
  3. Add the finely diced apple bits. Pulse only 2 or 3 times to ensure the apple pieces remain distinct.
  4. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth sphere.
  5. Immediately roll the ball in the shredded coconut until evenly coated. Repeat until all dough is used.
