Ingredients

5 dates (dried and pitted) (~1 ¼ oz)

1 ½ oz coconut flour

2 tsp protein powder (~¼ oz)

2 ½ tbsp coconut (shredded) (~½ oz)

optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract

optional: a tiny bit of salt

Directions

Place dates, applesauce, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla in a food processor. Process until pureed and mixture is combined.

Add coconut flour, protein powder and salt. Process until mixture forms a smooth ball of “dough.” (If mixture looks too dry, add 1-2 tsp water or almond milk).
