Coconut and Lime Date Balls
Makes 6 servings

INGREDIENTS
7 dates, about 140 g Medjool dates (Stoned weight.)
40 g Desiccated coconut (30 g in the mix and 10 g on the outside.)
40 g Gluten-free oats (Dry weight. Certified, which is the only thing that separates them from ordinary oats in the numbers.)
Of one lime Lime juice
A pinch Salt

METHOD
1. Pit the dates and blitz them with the lime juice and salt until they form a sticky paste.
2. Add 30 g of the coconut and the oats and pulse until the mix holds when squeezed. It should feel slightly wet; if it does not, add a teaspoon of water.
3. Roll into six balls, roll each through the remaining coconut and chill for half an hour.

Check ingredient packaging for allergen information.
Coconut is not a tree nut under UK labelling.

RECIPE NOTES
Desiccated coconut is nearly two thirds fat by weight, so it does most of the work on the fat figure here. The dates do the rest on carbohydrate.
Lime zest as well as juice makes these noticeably better. Grate it in before you juice the lime.
