Vegan Date Bites with Coconut & Pecans
The vegan date bites are a great alternative to a regular piece of cake to your coffee. Not using flour makes them gluten-free – so they are great for anyone with intolerance. Except for the dark chocolate, no industrial sugar is added. The dates serve as a natural sweetener and are full of healthy nutrients. The pecans and coconut serve as a source of good fat and also ensure that the bitesare well satiating.Besure to try it out!-Pauline
