Coconut Energy Bites
From Cherry Street Farm, Auburn, NY
A quick little snack for the afternoon
½ cup packed soft medjool pitted dates ( I chop the dates before processing them)
1 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut ( more for rolling if desired)
1 cup packed rolled oats (I use bob’s red mill)
½ cup natural peanut butter
2 T hemp seed
1 T ground flax
1 T. Frozen Ocean Apiaries honey
⅓ cup water
½ c of dark chocolate chips chopped (optional)
Directions:
In a food processor, process the dates, coconut, oats for about a minute until it is finely ground. Add the peanut butter, hemp, flax, honey and water. Process until the dough holds together.
Roll into 16-18 balls. Roll the balls in coconut if desired. Freeze for at least ½ hour. Then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
