Cook time: 10 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups dates ((fresh, medjool, pitted)); 1/3 cup cashews ((soaked overnight in purified water drained and rinsed)); 1/2 tsp vanilla powder ((the key to this recipe is that I used madagascar vanilla powder and it really makes the difference, if you don’t have it you can use a vanilla bean or pure vanilla extract but it may not be as vanilla flavored with the extract)); 1 cup coconut ((shredded, 1/2 cup set aside to cover the doughnut holes in))

It doesn’t get much simpler than this for a delicious bite-sized treat! This take on doughnut holes has a grand total of four ingredients. 10 minutes of your time and 2 steps to make. Literally anyone could do it, and the result is a lovely vanilla coconut confection that looks as good as it tastes.

Dates make for an amazing sweetener (as so many great recipes show!) A natural whole food with plenty of sugary sweetness, dates also come packed with actual nutrients and minerals. Sure, sugar is always something you need to be wary of. But in moderation it is a lovely thing, when you can get it from natural, unrefined source!

Ingredients

2 cups dates (fresh, medjool, pitted)
1/3 cup cashews (soaked overnight in purified water drained and rinsed)
1/2 tsp vanilla powder (the key to this recipe is that I used madagascar vanilla powder and it really makes the difference, if you don’t have it you can use a vanilla bean or pure vanilla extract but it may not be as vanilla flavored with the extract)
