Easy No-Bake Energy Balls | Date & Pecan Snack (No Refined Sugar)
These no-bake energy balls are made with just 5 simple ingredients and come together in minutes. Naturally sweet from dates, rich from pecans, and perfect for quick snacking, dessert cravings, or busy days. No refined sugar, no baking, and no complicated steps — just blend, mix, and roll. I used a slightly grainy texture for better bite and crunch instead of turning it into a paste.
Instructions
- Soak pitted dates in warm milk for 10 minutes.
- Blend dates and milk until smooth.
- Add pecans and blend lightly — keep it grainy.
- Add cocoa powder and blend briefly.
- Transfer to a bowl and mix in shredded coconut.
- Scoop using 1 tbsp measure and shape into balls.
- Roll in extra coconut and enjoy.
