Little Yummy Balls- date and almonds

For Laura, everyone needs a goodhearted Vegan in their lives

If you know me, then you know I have a very sweet tooth. So much so that I turn to this healthier alternative to sweets, specially when I'm trying to watch my weight, it is summertime now which means tank tops and bathing suits. These little yummies are rich and fudgey, and leaves my sweet tooth satisfied.  I brought some to work to share and the feedback was wonderful. After one bite one friend demanded I make some for her dinner party.


Depending what size you roll these you can make 12-15 balls:

1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup raw carob powder
1/2 maple syrup
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened)



Place almond in food processor and grind it until coarsely ground.  Add the dates, and pulse until both ingredients are well combined. Add carob power, syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until mixture is well blended and thick.

Roll into balls with your hands (like making meatballs). Then drop the balls and coat in coconut. Place in freezer until hardened, about an hour or less. Then Enjoy!

I've never been big on carob but have been trying it a bit lately because of it's health benefits. I'd love to guide Foodista readers to your site. I hope you could add this carob flour widget at the end of this post so we could add you in our list of food bloggers who blogged about recipes using carob powder/flour,Thanks!
Nice sweet idea! Can't wait to try.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.

It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's hard
to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal.

I must say you have done a fantastic job with this.
Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox.
Exceptional Blog!
