[ ❅ VANILLA ALMOND SNOWMEN ❅ ]
1 cup soaked dates*
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup almond meal
1/3 cup oats, ground into flour
1 tbsp chia seeds
½ cup + dessicated coconut, to roll the balls in
Optional Snowmen toppings: cacao nibs (or mini chocolate chips), goji berries, pretzels
------
1. Unless you dates are super soft, pit them and soak in warm water for ~10 min. Drain
2. Combine the dates, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into a food processor and blend to make an even paste
3. Add the almond meal, chia seeds, and oat flour and pulse until combined
4. Roll into balls (I used a 1/2 tbsp to make them small, for normal size I would use 1 tbsp) and then roll in coconut until evenly coated
5. To make a snowman, connect 3 balls using a toothpick, then use 2 cacao nibs for eyes, a goji berry for a nose, and some pretzels for arms (or whatever else you have laying around!)
6. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week
*If you don’t have dates, you can really use any dried fruit you have on hand, but keep in mind this will alter the overall taste of the balls
