Tips:
- Use fresh coffee for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh coffee, you can use instant coffee, but the flavor will not be as good.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the nuts and dates by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or agave syrup. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more almond flour or oats.
- Roll the balls in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for a different flavor and texture.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
