Equipment

  • Food processor optional

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 4 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon strong coffee or espresso
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

On top

  • ¼ cup shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Using a food processor

  • Use room temperature butter. Mix all ingredients together and pulse to make a smooth batter. Scrape down the walls a couple of times.

Using a hand mixer

  • Mix together the butter, sugar, and vanilla with the hand mixer until fully combined.
  • Add the coffee and mix in. Add all the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix into a well-combined batter.
  • Take a spoonful of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a small ball. The batter makes 16 medium-sized balls. You can even make bigger delicato-balls. Roll in the coconut flakes and set them aside. Refrigerate until firm.
  • Best served just slightly chilled. Stores for about a week. Take to room temperature 15-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you wish you can dip the rolled balls in melted dark chocolate. Let chill for some minutes and then roll in coconut flakes. This makes a IKEA-style chocolate oat-ball. 
Additional flavor can be added from ½-1 teaspoon rum extract. Vegan milk free chocolate balls are made with margarine. For gluten-free make sure the oats are labeled as it.
