About Lemon Date Balls

My husband and I have been loving these lemon date balls for weeks. It’s such a simple recipe that takes little time and effort.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free, these treat balls a great for snacking during the day.

The tart and sweet flavors are blended perfectly and are going to make you crave more.

Ingredient Notes

ROLLED OATS – I use Trader Joe’s rolled oats.

COCONUT – To keep this recipe really healthy, I recommend using unsweetened shredded coconuts.

DATES (pitted) – I recommend Medjool dates because they have a sweet, chewy, and rich flavor.

LEMON – Use both the zest of the lemon and the juice. The tartness of the lemon balances the sweetness of the coconut and the dates.

How to Make Lemon Date Balls

1. Add one cup of rolled oats and one cup of shredded coconut to a food processor. Use the pulse function to blend until the oats and coconuts are finely chopped.
2. Zest a lemon (you will get about one tablespoon of lemon zest) and juice the lemon. Add both to the oat-coconut mixture.
3. Pit, chop, and 3/4 of a cup of dates to the bowl.
4. Combine everything with your hands and begin to form small, bite-sized balls. Depending on the desired size, you can expect to get 8-12 balls.
5. Serve or store in an air-tight container for up to 7 days.
