Recipe type: Healthy Snack
Cuisine: Raw, Vegan, Paleo
Serves: 3-4
RecipeIngredients
  • 10 Apricots
  • 10 Dates
  • ½ cup hot water for soaking
  • About ½ cup coconut flour (I used 'Let's Do Organic' brand)
  • tiny pinch sea salt (optional)
  • ¼ tsp zest of one organic lemon or ¼ tsp cardamom powder (Use lemon zest for AIP)
  • ½ cup shredded coconut for rolling (I used 'Let's do organic' brand)
RecipeInstructions
  1. Soak the dates in a small bowl in the hot water for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a food processor bowl, add the apricots and the dates along with the water used for soaking. You should get a thick pasty mixture.
  3. At this stage, transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the coconut flour and the lemon zest or cardamom powder to it.
  4. Mix the coconut flour with the apricot date mixture using a spatula or your hands to form a smooth non sticky dough. (You may need to add slightly more coconut flour if your dough is sticky)
  5. Roll the dough into small balls and roll in shredded coconut
Notes
You could add the coconut flour also to the food processor and form the dough in it.
For AIP compliant, use only lemon zest and no cardamom
