Ingredients Method

Ingredients

2 cup(s) dried date pieces
1/2 cup(s) butter
1 egg(s)
1 egg yolk save white in freezer
2 tsp caramel flavoring sold at Walmart
1 cup(s) oats
1 cup(s) shredded coconut
1/3 cup(s) coconut sugar
1/2 salt
3 tbsp cocoa powder dark is best!
1 cup(s) sunflower seeds raw is best
1/2 cup(s) pumpkin seeds raw is best
1/2 cup(s) almonds roughly chopped (half )

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roughly chop dried dates if they are whole. Place in bowl along with butter and beat on medium to high for approx. a minute.
Add all other ingredients and combine well. Drop in rounded balls of desired size on baking sheet and flatten slightly with palm.
Bake 12-14 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan with spatula. They will harden quite a bit more after they are completely cool, which makes them great for travel. OTL 2017
