• Place the dates (100 g Medjool Dates; carrots if low carb), oats (30 g Rolled Oats; almonds, sunflower seeds in gluten free/nut free), desiccated coconut (30 g Desiccated Coconut) and salt flakes (2 pinches Sea Salt Flakes) into the bowl of a food processor.

• Process all the ingredients into a fine powder. Depending on how powerful your food processor is, this may take about 30-60 seconds. Scrape the sides down and repeat if necessary.
• If your dates are very moist, the bliss ball mixture will already come together at this stage and you are welcome to progress with the next step. If not, simply add 1tbps of water (1-2 tbsp Filtered Water) and continue to process for 15-30 seconds. Add a little more water at a time, process for 15-30 seconds until you have a darkish looking paste.
  1-2 tbsp Filtered Water
• Once the paste has come together (you want it to be moist but not very sticky), take a 1/2 tablespoon measuring tool (or simply a teaspoon) and scoop equal amounts of mixture into your hands. Roll in the palms of your hands into small balls and then roll them into desiccated coconut (More Desiccated Coconut for coating the Bliss Balls) until evenly coated.

Gluten Free Salted Caramel Bliss Balls

• Proceed as above, however, use raw almonds (30 g Raw Almonds or Almond Meal (instead of oats)) instead of rolled oats. If you don't have a powerful food processor (I highly recommend this Ninja one from above), use almond meal instead.

Nut & Gluten Free Salted Caramel Bliss Balls

• Proceed as in the base recipe above, however, use sunflower seeds (30 g Raw Sunflower Seeds (instead of oats)) instead of rolled oats. You can use pepitas/pumpkin seeds as well but they will alter the taste.

Low Carb/Sugar Bliss Balls (GF, NFO)

• In order to make the Salted Caramel Bliss Balls low carb, we have to replace the dates and the oats with carrots (100 g Raw Carrot (instead of dates)) and nuts or seeds (30 g Raw Almonds, Almond Meal or Sunflower Seeds (instead of oats)/30 g Raw Sunflower Seeds (instead of oats)). You might want to add a little natural sweetness as they will definitely not be as sweet and caramelly without the dates. If you find them too crumbly, add 1-2 tbsp more water (or even replace with silken tofu for added protein) and 1-2 tsp coconut flour which will absorb the moisture and make them more sticky.
