Ingredients

  • 15 Medjool dates, pits removed
  • 1 cup walnuts

  2. Pulse ingredients a few times, stirring if the dates begin to clump together

  4. Line an 8×8 baking dish with plastic wrap
  5. Sprinkle remaining coconut onto plastic wrap
  6. Press large ball of dough into dish, shaping it into a large square
  7. Cover and chill for an hour or overnight

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
