Chia Date Hearts




From my friends who had never had a raw cookie (first comment was "Is this a dog treat?") to my family that has been exposed to my creations for awhile, this was a winner.

Sweetened with dates, it is full of protein and nutrients, and a good snack or dessert.

A very easy recipe, it was created by tossing in pretty much every ingredient I had on hand.

Chia Date Hearts

Ingredients:

7 organic Medjool dates, pitted
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk or water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon organic almond extract
2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter
1/3 to 1/2 cup raw sprouted almonds
2 tablespoon ground chia seeds
2 teaspoons organic coconut oil

Directions:

1.  Food process ingredients, adding as much water or coconut milk as needed for dough to come together into one ball.
2.  Divide into little discs or form into a shape, such as hearts!
