Healthy indulgence: date bites with cocoa and nuts

Ingredients

• 10 large Meidjool dates
• 50 g cocoa powder
• 30 g almond flour
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• topping of your choice: walnuts, almonds, coconut flakes but goji berries or puffed quinoa are also tasty

Instructions

1. 1

   1. Pit the dates and put them in the blender with the cocoa powder, almond flour and maple syrup. A blender with blades that also point downwards works well; if you don't have one, use a food processor or a large chopper. Blend until you get a thick, sticky mass. Chop the nuts finely and arrange the toppings on a plate.

   2. Now form little balls from the 'dough' and roll them through your favourite topping. You can also mix different toppings. Let the balls firm up in the fridge for about fifteen minutes and then eat them all at once! Oh no 😉 They actually keep quite well in the fridge because there's nothing perishable in them. Tip: make enough for the whole week and take them with you (or send them with your kids) as a tasty, sweet and healthy snack.
