Coconut Energy Balls

Recipe by Jasmin von Wartburg on InstagramAdded 10 November 2026.

10 minutes to prep. These Coconut Energy Balls are a plant‑based snack that combines sweet dates, creamy almond butter or tahini, and toasted coconut for a chewy, satisfying treat.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Place all ingredients (dates, almond butter, tahini, water, coconut flakes, and salt) into a food processor and blend until a smooth, pliable mass forms.

  2. Roll the mass into small balls.

  3. Roll each ball in additional coconut flakes to coat, then enjoy.

Tips while you cook

Soften dates before processing
Make sure the dates are pitted and soft.
Dampen hands when shaping
Moisten your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while rolling the balls.
Coat balls right after shaping
Roll each ball in coconut flakes immediately after forming.
