I don't know about you guys but I LOVE to snack and lately I've been craving sweets like crazy. I wanted to create something guilt free and low in sugar but still gets the job done. I usually always add in a couple dates or a mashed banana when baking. Personally, I can't handle anything overly sweet, minimal ingredients work perfect for me, but if you need something sweeter you can always add coconut sugar. The trick is to bake these bad boys for only 10 minutes ( or even less ). This way you don't over cook them. Leaving them in the oven for too long will burn the bites and trust me they don't taste the same. These bites will melt in your mouth and stays super chewy days later.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup of coconut flour
- 2 Vital Farms egg
- 2 dates
- ¼ Cup of Sunfood cacao powder
- ¼ cup Artisana Cashew Butter
- 2 Tbsp Bobs Red Mill unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 Tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 1 Tsp Simply Organic Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp Himalayan sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400
- chop dates into small pieces, this makes it easier to mash with the ingredients
- Mix all ingredients into mixing bowl (option to blend in food processor)
- Make sure to mix really well, the batter should be thick and gooey
- Roll into balls and place on parchment paper
- Sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes and bake for 10-12 minutes!
- Once cacao balls are done, sprinkle goji berries for toppings. Let the bites cool for 30 minutes, then dig in!
