Healthy Coconut Pecan Pie Bites

Ingredients

• 1 lb. Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup pecans
• ½ cup + 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt (optional)
  

Method

1. Begin by removing the pits from 1 lb. of Medjool dates. To do so, simply squeeze the date and the pit should slide right out.
2. Next, place 1 cup of shredded coconut into a small bowl and set aside.
3. Place the pitted dates, 1 cup of pecans, salt, and ½ cup of shredded coconut in a small food processor. Whirl together for ~1 minute or until it combines into dough. It will become very sticky and thick.

4. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll between in your hands, creating a ball. Then, roll each ball in the bowl of shredded coconut. The coconut should have no problem sticking to the dough.

5. To store, place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
