We are always rotating our menu items to provide children with a range of delicious, healthy and fresh food at DMW. Here's a recipe for one of our favourite snacks - but be warned - you'll find it hard to stop at one! Please note this recipe contains almond meal. As an allergy aware and nut-free service, we use desiccated coconut and oats as an alternative and they are still delicious!
What You'll Need:
12 medjool dates
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup desiccated coconut (plus 1/3 cup extra for coating)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup cacao powder
1 tbls chia seeds
How to Make Them:
Place dates in a bowl of water and stand for one hour until softened. Remove seeds.
Process dates, almond meal, shredded coconut, coconut oil, cacao powder and chia seeds until mixture comes together. Transfer to a bowl and stand for 20 minutes for chia seeds to soften.
Roll the mixture into balls and coat in desiccated coconut.
ENJOY! One, two, or plenty!
