Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup packed (200g or about 12) Natural Delights® Medjool Dates, pitted
  • 1/3 cup (30g) cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup (60g) coconut cream*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup (60g) raw buckwheat groats
  • 2 tsps coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instruction

  • In a non-stick pan, stir together the buckwheat, coconut oil, cacao powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
  • Toast on medium low heat stirring constantly for 6-8 minutes until it is starting to brown and looks dry. You will also start to smell the toasty scent when it’s done too.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a dish to cool.
  • In a food processor, process the dates until broken down into a sticky paste with no large chunks remaining.
  • Add the cacao powder, coconut flour, coconut cream, salt, and vanilla. 
  • Process to form a sticky dough.
  • Scoop out one tablespoon at a time, roll into a ball, and roll to coat in the toasted buckwheat.
  • Refrigerate for a couple of hours until firm (and they just taste better cold in my opinion).
  • Enjoy straight from the fridge. Keep the leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
