*Raw Maple Coconut Balls

Growing up, we always used to buy doughnut holes. I used to love the maple flavored ones and the coconut ones. This memory was definitely the inspiration behind these raw maple coconut balls. Enjoy!
Yield: 6 balls
You will need:
-2 cups shredded coconut 
-2 cups pitted dates (soaked for about 15 minutes)
-5 tablespoons Maple syrup  (any sweetener)
Directions:
1. Using a food processor, blend all the ingredients together until a dough forms (about 3-4 minutes)
2. Form the dough into balls by rolling them in your palms
3. Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer 
*Feel free to roll the balls in shredded coconut, coconut sugar or even cocoa nibs for an added texture
