Scale
1/4 cup shredded coconut, plus 3 tablespoons, divided
1/2 cup creamy almond butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 large soft medjool dates, pitted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder, or unflavored
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes until lightly golden.
In a food processor, blend almond butter, maple syrup, pitted dates, vanilla extract, rolled oats, protein powder, and salt until smooth.

Form the mixture into balls using about 1 tablespoon per ball.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave until smooth.
Dip the bottoms of the balls into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Drizzle more chocolate over the top and sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut and flaky sea salt.
Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour until set.
