Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped dark chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate to the tahini mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the rolled oats and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or a melon baller, portion out the mixture and shape into bites. Place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Optional: Sprinkling chopped pistachios, almonds, or sea salt flakes on top for added flavor and texture.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the bites are set.
- Enjoy these bites chilled, and pack them for snacks or dessert!
