Notes on ingredients

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.
  • Dry roasted hazelnuts: Roasting intensifies the nutty flavor and gives them a pleasant crunch. See How to roast hazelnuts for simple roasting directions.
  • Coconut flour: This is finely ground, dried coconut flesh. It is different from shredded or desiccated coconut and soaks up moisture quickly.
  • Dates: Any soft, moist variety works. If your dates are dry, soak them in water at room temperature for 1–2 hours until soft.

Tips and how-tos

How to roast hazelnuts

Roasting hazelnuts brings out their aroma and creates a crisp texture. Follow these steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  • Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 10–15 minutes, stirring or shaking the tray every 5 minutes so they brown evenly.
  • When the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned, remove them from the oven and transfer immediately to a plate to cool.
