Instructions
1
Prep
Soak 112g pitted Medjool dates in warm water for 10 minutes, drain well. Measure 72g raw sunflower seeds, 20g unsweetened cocoa powder, 12g chia seeds, 12g ground flaxseed, 0.5 tsp vanilla extract, 0.1 tsp fine sea salt, and 8g extra cocoa powder for rolling.
2
Build
Add sunflower seeds to food processor, pulse 8–10 times until coarsely chopped with texture remaining. Add soaked dates, cocoa powder, chia seeds, flaxseed, vanilla, and sea salt. Blend on medium speed until a thick, sticky dough forms, about 1–2 minutes.
3
Finish
Scrape down processor sides and pulse 15 seconds to fully incorporate. Scoop dough into 6 bites of roughly 35g each, roll between palms pressing firmly to hold shape. Roll each bite in extra cocoa powder to coat lightly.
4
Crisp
Refrigerate bites on a parchment-lined tray at 4°C for at least 30 minutes until fully firm and set. Store in 1 airtight container; keeps refrigerated 5 days or frozen 60 days.
5
Plate
Arrange 3 cocoa bites per serving on a plate with sliced banana and fresh raspberries alongside for brightness and freshness.
