  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 20 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
  • 1 1/3 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 18 medjool dates (pitted, 330 grams total without pits)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons acai powder (optional)

For Rolling

  • Extra desiccated coconut or cacao powder
  • Melted dark chocolate (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Pit the medjool dates if not already pitted, and if using frozen raspberries, thaw slightly for easier processing.
  2. Blend Mixture: Place rolled oats, desiccated coconut, raspberries, pitted dates, vanilla, chia seeds, salt, and acai powder (if using) into a food processor. Blend until the mixture breaks down and begins to stick together, pausing to scrape down the sides once or twice as needed. Processing should take a couple of minutes to ensure even mixing.
  3. Form Balls: Once the mixture is well combined and sticky, roll it into firm balls of your preferred size using your hands. This step is key to forming the classic bliss ball shape.
  4. Roll in Coating: Optionally, roll the formed balls in extra desiccated coconut or cacao powder for added texture and flavor. You can also drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an indulgent finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place bliss balls in the refrigerator to chill until firm and ready to serve. This step helps the balls hold their shape and improves flavor.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen raspberries depending on availability; just thaw frozen raspberries slightly before blending.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or a few more dates; if too sticky, add more oats or coconut to balance.
  • Acai powder is optional but adds a nutritious antioxidant boost and vibrant color.
  • Store bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
  • These are naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
