2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls

2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls - These healthy treats are SO easy to make, only require 2 ingredients, and satiate that sweet tooth in the best way.

When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY’S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can’t have sweets.

We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls – only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which are both allowed on Whole 30. Technically you’re not supposed to have anything that even resembles a treat (for the purpose of breaking sugar reliance), but I was like screw it, I’m growing a human.

They were SO GOOD, you guys! Who would’ve known that something so simple and made with whole ingredients could taste so delicious? Since that day, I have loved those coconut date rolls, and I recently created an easy recipe for making them at home!

All you need to make these is shredded coconut, dates, and a food processor. You add the coconut and pitted dates to your food processor, blend until it forms an even “paste” or “dough,” and then scoop out with a cookie scoop and roll! I like to roll mine into a tater top shape and then roll that around in more shredded coconut.

These are some of my favorite little healthy treats to have around when I’m really craving something sweet – so much better for my body than a giant Crumbl Cookie (also goes down relatively often…balance right?! 🙃).

They are perfectly sweet, a little but coconut-y, soft and almost creamy – they remind me just slightly of an almond joy because of the texture and the light coconut flavor. So satisfying!

Try these and let me know what you think ❤️.
