Ingredients
CAKE BITES
- 1 cup packed pitted medjool dates (measured after pits are removed)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or sub almond meal, but the cake flavor is more pronounced with flour)
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour (or sub more almond flour)
- 1/4 cup cacao powder (or Dutch process cocoa powder)
- 2 Tbsp Beetroot powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp coconut cream, full-fat coconut milk, or another dairy-free milk (optional)
FOR ROLLING optional
- cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor / Beet Powder for earthier flavor
Instructions
- To a food processor, add pitted dates and blend until small bits remain or a ball forms.
- Next add your almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, beetroot powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend until a tacky dough is formed — about 20-30 seconds. Add coconut cream only if the dough still appears dry.
- The mixture should form easily when squeezed between your fingers. If too dry, add a little more maple syrup or coconut cream. If too wet or sticky, add more coconut flour, almond flour, or cacao powder as needed.
- Scoop out 1-Tbsp amounts of dough and roll into balls (we like this scoop). Repeat until all of your mixture is used up.
- Enjoy as is, or roll in cacao powder for a richer chocolate flavor, or beetroot powder for pink color and earthier flavor (we enjoyed a mix of both).
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or the freezer for 1 month or more. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.
