Prepare the ingredients: Soak the dates in warm water for 5-10 minutes if they’re dry, then drain.
Blend the base: In a food processor, combine the almonds and oats. Pulse until they are ground into a coarse flour.
Add the flavor: Add the dates, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the processor. Blend until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
Form the bites: Scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Coat (optional): Roll the balls in desiccated coconut or crushed nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Chill and serve: Place the balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy straight from the fridge for a refreshing treat!
