I’m always on the lookout for simple, healthy, gluten-free treats.
This Coconut Date Rolls recipe takes just a few minutes and contains only dates, almonds and shredded coconut!
Coconut Date Rolls
1/2 lb pitted dates
1/2 cup raw slivered or sliced almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes
2 tbsp water (optional, to taste)
Blend the dates, almonds & coconut in a food processor until a paste is formed. Add water through the feed tube if the paste seems dry. Pulse to incorporate the water into the mix. With damp hands, form heaping tablespoonfuls of the paste into 1 inch balls. Makes about 12-15 rolls.
Kid and figure friendly, this recipe couldn’t be more easy or delicious!

i will take 1 date roll, and one serving of your little helper.
I have a very similar recipe for no-bake thumbprint cookies that are DELICIOUS! It uses Quaker oats, apple or almond butter, coconut flakes, and dates or raisins with a little dot of preserves or apple butter. Into the food processor, into little rolls just like yours, and then a little squish of a thumb and apple butter or preserves in the indentation. Please forgive my lack of awareness, though — oats are gluten-free, correct?
That sounds DELICIOUS! Oats are technically gluten-free except that they are almost always processed on equipment shared with wheat so gluten-free folks must buy certified gluten-free oats; much more expensive but safe and tasty!
omg these sound absolutely delicious! i am putting on my to-make list.
I added two tbs of cocoa powder. For a chocolate flavor! We all love them, including Enzo!
Thanks Carrie!
