When you’re settling into a Whole30, it can be difficult to adjust to so many dietary changes – especially coming off of the busy holiday season. These Pecan Date Bites are a 4-ingredient recipe that I’ve counted on to help me through the initial days for many rounds of Whole30. This is my take on a popular recipe that replicates a store-bought bar made from a few simple ingredients. I like to make these using a small cookie scoop to ensure each is the same size. You can thank me later for having these on hand in your refrigerator when you feel like you’re ready to quit your Whole30 journey.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade, add 12 medjool dates, 2 cups pecans and ¼ teaspoon salt. Secure lid and run on low or pulse until a paste-like consistency is formed.
Use a tablespoon or #60 (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop to form each bite. Roll into even balls and place on a plate. Once you’ve formed all of the balls, put them in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to set.
Add ¼ cup unsweetened coconut to a small bowl or plate. Use your hands to press coconut to evenly coat each ball. Once they are all coated, store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Makes about 16 bites.

Notes

If your dates aren't soft, add them to a small bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes to soften. Drain off water and continue recipe.
