Vanilla Cake Bites

February 8, 2024 Guest User
Vanilla Cake Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups packed pitted medjool dates (measured after pits removed)

  • 1 1/4 cups raw walnuts

  • 1 cup almond flour (or sub almond meal, but the cake flavor is more pronounced with flour)

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour (or sub more almond flour)

  • Pinch sea salt

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Finely shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add pitted dates to a food processor and mix until small bits remain or a ball forms. Remove from food processor and set aside.

  2. To the food processor, add the walnuts, almond flour, coconut flour, and sea salt. Blend until a semi-fine meal. Add dates back in (in bite-sized pieces) as well as the vanilla extract. Pulse until a loose dough forms. Be careful not to over-blend. Make a pliable dough, not a purée.

  3. Scoop out 2-Tablespoon amounts using a cookie scooper and roll into balls with hands or release lever on scoop and place directly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used up.

  4. Roll in finely shredded coconut or leave as is.

  5. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month.
