1 cup honey
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup carob powder (dutch processed cocoa may be substituted)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp almond extract
1 cup oats*
1 cup coconut

Bring dates & water to a full boil until soft. Add honey, carob powder,
salt, vanilla. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat
and add remaining ingredients. Drop onto an oiled cookie sheet and let
cool. Place in airtight container and refrigerate. If too chewy, let warm to
room temp before serving.

*Oats are healthier if toasted in a dry skillet until golden brown first, only takes 10 minutes or so.

Note from BL: Oats are one of those grains which are contaminated during crop rotation and at the mill. If you cannot find certified gluten-free oats (like from www.onlyoats.com or www.creamhillestates.com) the try these using rolled quinoa or another gluten-free grain
