Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread oats and almonds evenly in a single layer on a
baking sheet, careful to not mix and keep separate. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, turning
over occasionally, until lightly toasted; remove from the oven and cool.
Process avocado, dates, 1/2 cup toasted almonds, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt in a food processor
until mixture is finely chopped and sticky. Stir in 1 cup toasted oats.
Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
Form 20 bite-sized balls using your palms. Roll balls in remaining toasted oats and almonds.
Place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
