These bliss balls are decadent and dessert-like. Very good ingredients and very healthy for you. They are naturally sweetened so there are no added sugars. They are salt-free as well. You can make these oil-free by omitting the coconut oil and adding more dates and almond butter.
I like the flavor of these just as is. they remind me of almond butter cups. Super delicious and they are travel-friendly. So you can pack them up and take them on the go as a snack or an energy bite. Either way, they are the perfect little snack.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup oat flour ( this is just blended oats to form a flour)
3 tbsp cocoa or cacao powder
2-3 heaping tbsp almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
12-14 dates (pitted)
1 tbsp coconut oil
DIRECTIONS:
- In a food processor combine the oat flour and the cocoa powder and blend until combined.
- Add in the almond butter and blend until combined.
- Add in the vanilla and dates. ( depending on the dates you use or if you soak them beforehand you might not need to use the coconut oil) Pulse to combine. If the mixture is to dry add more dates or you can add the coconut oil.
- Blend until a dough forms. The mixture will be slightly sticky but not wet to the touch. It should hold its shape when gently pressed together. If you find the dough is still to dry add more almond butter 1 tbsp at a time. You should not need it.
- When the mixture is combined scoop out 1 to 2 tbsp of the mixture and roll into balls. Place in a dish. Cover and keep cool in the fridge.
This recipe should make between 8 to 10 balls depending on how big you make them. You can roll these into cocoa powder, chopped fine nuts of choice or coconut. Either way, they are addicting. Enjoy!

Hello Everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mom of two, a stepmom of 1, two wild and silly pups, and I have the best husband in the world. I also have a love of cooking and baking. I am always in the kitchen finding new recipes to try, recreating old family recipes, and reminiscing about the old ways. I am vintage at heart and love all things old and cast iron. I love spending time with the family and pups and just going where life takes us.
I created my blog a few years ago with my youtube channel because I thought that If I shared a recipe, then people just might like to see just how the recipe is put together. I share all of my family recipes along with today's recipes. Whether it is old-fashioned recipes, sourdough, einkorn, desserts, sheet pan meals, or even crockpot meals, they are all absolutely delicious.
I spend hours, if not days, creating and dabbling with recipes to make sure they are the best for you and your family. All of my recipes are family tested and family-approved before they are ever posted to my blog or youtube channel.
Every now and again I will share some behind-the-scenes fun and chaos of our creations and family adventures. I hope you all stick around and join us here at The Southern Rustic and see what we cook up in my kitchen. You can find all of my social media information in the Contact/Donate OR the Social Media Accounts tab on my home page. There I have listed my Instagram pages, YouTube channel, Email, and other information so you can easily find everything in one place.
I hope that you all have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will see you soon.
Sam
