Serves: 24
Ingredients
Use Organic if possible
-
1 cup pecans
-
1 cup pumpkin seeds
-
½ cup coconut flakes (plus 1 additional cup coconut flakes)
-
½ cup raisins
-
½ cup chocolate chips
-
8 Medjool dates (soaked in water for 20 minutes)
-
2 Tbsp sunflower butter (or almond butter)
-
1 Tbsp Garden of Life Coconut Oil
-
1 Tbsp water (you can use the water that the dates were soaking in)
-
½ tsp cinnamon
-
¼ tsp sea salt
Preparation
-
Remove dates from water after 20 minutes and make sure there are no pits in them.
-
Break them in half and place them in a food processor with the remaining ingredients (except for the additional 1 cup of coconut flakes).
-
Pulse until batter begins to stick together.
-
Remove batter from food processor and refrigerate for about 15 minutes (this will make it easier to roll cookie balls).
-
Roll tablespoon-sized cookie bites (“trail mix bites”) and then coat in coconut flakes and place back in refrigerator.
-
Store bites in refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
-
Option: Roll bites in cacao, cinnamon or dip in melted chocolate.
