Ingredients

Instructions

  1.  Mireille Heidbreder

    Place the dates, applesauce, almond milk, and peppermint extract into a food processor or mixer. Make sure to blend all the ingredients well to form a thick paste.

    #SpoonTip: Make sure the lid to your food processor is tightly locked because otherwise everything might just go flying around your kitchen.

  2. Mireille Heidbreeder

    Add the coconut flour and the cacao powder to the mixture in the food processor. Mix again until a ball forms in the mixer/processor. The dough should look moist. If too dry, add a little more coconut flour.

  3. Mireille Heidbreder

    Take the dough out of the food processor and place into a bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips and then roll the dough into balls to make the bites. Eat immediately or refrigerate for later.
