Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the hazelnuts on the tray.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until fragrant and roasted. Remove from the oven, cool down for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small mixing bowl and melt in the microwave or in a saucepan.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add roasted lukewarm hazelnuts, pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract melted chocolate/coconut oil.
- Process for 2-3 minutes. The time depends on your food processor's power. You know it's ready when it forms a sticky batter that comes together. If too dry, blend in an extra teaspoon of almond milk or water until the dough sticks together.
- Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes in a bowl.
- Roll 10 balls, placing a hazelnut in the center of each ball, if desired. See my pictures above to see my technique to do that. Place the formed balls on a plate covered with parchment paper.
- Decorate the energy balls with a drizzle of melted chocolate and extra chopped hazelnuts or serve plain.
Almacenaje

Ingredientes y sustituciones
All you need to make delicious healthy hazelnut protein balls are a food processor and a few ingredients:
- Avellanas – Raw or roasted for extra flavors.
- Dátiles Medjool sin hueso – You can also use other types of dates, but Medjool are my favorite for their texture and sweetness.
- Aceite de Coco – Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature, it holds the ball together.
- Extracto de vainilla – por el sabor.
- Melted Dark Chocolate – I love 85% Lindt dark chocolate, but any dark chocolate from 70% cocoa makes this recipe delicious.

I love to create lots of vegan energy balls for our week. It’s a healthy, clean treat that you can enjoy any time of the day and is also perfect for filling kids’ lunchboxes with nutrient-dense sweet snacks. Below I listed my favorite energy bite recipe for you to try.
These are delicious. I made them as directed. I found them to be excessively oily. I used many paper towels to absorb the oil after I formed them into balls. Perhaps the freshness of the hazelnuts had something to do with it, but next time, I would not use the coconut oil to help melt the chocolate in an effort to lessen the oiliness. Thank you for creating these yummy hazelnut chocolate bites!
