Ingredients

1 cup dates pitted
1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ cup almond butter
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional:

¼ cup dark chocolate chips for melting
½ cup crushed coconut flakes

Instructions

In a food processor, blend the dates and coconut oil together until smooth. Add in almond butter, dark chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon and mix until smooth and the mixture resembles dough.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a cookie sheet or plate covered with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate in a double broiler. Dip the top half of the energy bite into the melted chocolate, then dip into the crushed coconut. Allow to set for 10 minutes, then chill in refrigerator in a sealed container. Energy bites keep up to one week (although they will probably be gone before then). Enjoy!
