No-Bake Coconut Maca Energy Balls
Maca, dates and coconut come together to make a delicious energy ball that is gluten free and vegan! No cooking required. You will need a food processor.
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup pitted dates
- 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maca powder, gelatinized
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 3 tbsp coconut flour for rolling
Instructions
- Add pitted dates, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, maca and sea salt to food processor and process until everything starts to clump together and become well combined. About 1-2 minutes.
- Spread coconut flour on a plate. Remove the mixture from the food processor and gently roll into balls. Roll each ball in the coconut flour until coated. Gently tap the ball against the plate to shake off excess flour.
- For best results, put energy balls in a sealed container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before eating.
Notes
You'll likely gobble these up in a few days, but they will keep for at least a week in the fridge in a sealed container.
The mixture is brittle at first, but after the energy balls have been in the fridge, they have a much thicker and fudgier consistency to them and they will not fall apart.
