These no-bake coconut date rolls are quick, easy, and healthy chewy snacks made with simple ingredients like dates, coconut, and nuts. Perfect for a guilt-free energy boost on the go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup (80g) unsweetened shredded coconut, divided (half for mixture, half for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) raw almonds or walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dates by pitting and roughly chopping about 1 cup (150g) of Medjool dates. If dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
  2. Toast half a cup (40g) of shredded unsweetened coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup (60g) of raw almonds or walnuts and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (if using) until roughly chopped but not powdered.
  4. Add the chopped dates, toasted coconut, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt to the processor. Pulse until the mixture clumps together and forms a sticky dough, scraping down sides as needed. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time if mixture seems dry.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll each between palms into a 3-inch (7.5 cm) log shape. Roll each log in the remaining shredded coconut to coat completely.
  6. Place the coconut-coated rolls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  7. Store rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage. Thaw at room temperature before eating.

Notes

Soak dates if dry to avoid crumbly rolls. Toast coconut lightly for enhanced flavor. Pulse nuts and seeds to coarse crumbs for texture. Chill mixture if too sticky before rolling. Store in airtight container to maintain freshness.
