Ingredients

½ cup	pitted dates, roughly chopped

¼ cup	not just caramel, plus more for drizzling

1	ripe banana

¾ cup	rolled oats

2 Tbsp	nut butter of choice

2 Tbsp	flax seeds

¼ tsp	salt

½ cup	unsweetened shredded coconut

Process

1

In a food processor or blender, pulse the dates, not just caramel, and banana until the dates are finely chopped and a wet paste is formed. Add the oats, nut butter, flax seeds, and salt, and blend until fully incorporated and a slightly thicker paste is formed.

2

Carefully scoop the paste out of the food processor or blender into a ziplock bag or small bowl and place in the freezer about 30 minutes.

3

Once solid enough to handle, add the coconut to a small bowl, and wet your hands with cold water. Form the batter into 8 balls, and roll into the coconut to fully coat, wetting your hands with cold water as needed to prevent stickiness. Drizzle with more caramel
