These Healthy Date and Raspberry Bites are perfect for the kids lunchboxes or when needed, as a quick energy-boost in the afternoon.
Not only do they taste good, but there is also a small surprise in the middle, in the form of a fresh raspberry. The kids will love it!
The freeze-dried raspberries in which they are rolled (we’ve used ODENSE freeze-dried raspberries ) enhance the raspberry flavor. But if your kids think it’s a little too sour, just swap it with grated coconut.

Recipe
You will need:
• 200 g dates
• 60 g oatmeal
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa
• 4 tbsp water

You can also try to fill and cover your date balls with roasted hazelnuts. Use a whole nut in the middel and finely chopped nuts as decoration.
How to:
- Mix all ingredients except the raspberries in a food processor.
- Let the food processor run until you have a smooth batter.
- Take a dollop of batter and flatten it a little in your hand.
- Place a raspberry in the middle and carefully hem the batter around the raspberry and shape into a round ball.
- Mix or mortar the freeze-dried raspberries into a slightly more finely ground powder. Roll the date ball in the powder. Make sure it is all covered.
- Continue with the rest of the batter.
- Store in the refrigerator.
