Ingredients:

- ½ cup pitted dates
- 1-2 cups boiling water to soak dates (*save 3 tbsp of the date soaking water when you drain the dates)
- 1 cup oat flour (certified GF if necessary)
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tbsp ground flax
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut (plus extra for coating)
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips (vegan ones if desired)
Method:
- Soak dates in boiling water for ~10-15 mins. Drain dates and save 3 tbsp of the water.
- Add the dates, water, oat flour, banana, flax, coconut and chocolate chips to a food processor and blend (since the dates will still be warm the chocolate chips will melt slightly in the batter). NOTE: the batter will be very sticky and moist but thats okay!!
- Roll batter into bite-sized balls and coat with shredded coconut (wet your hands before rolling to prevent the batter from sticking to your hands as much).
- Let the bites firm up in the fridge for at least 10 mins before enjoying. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
ENJOY
