Chocolate Coconut Almond Balls

1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/16 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
3/4 cup pitted medjool dates
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1 1/2 tablespoons warm water

Whisk together oats, cocoa powder, and salt. Puree dates and water in a food processor or blender to form a paste. Add to bowl with oats and cocoa powder. Mix well, using hands if necessary, and form into balls.

Spread almonds and coconut on a plate. Roll the balls, pressing the almonds into them when necessary. Makes about 12 one-inch diameter balls.

Balls will keep for about one week covered in the fridge or 2-3 weeks in the freezer in an airtight container. Enjoy!
