1. 1

   Place 1/4 cup of the coconut on a plate and set aside.

2. 2

   Place the rolled oats in a heavy bottomed skillet and toast for a few minutes, stirring constantly.

3. 3

   When they begin to turn a darker shade of tan at the edges and emit a toasted aroma, transfer the oats to the bowl of a food processor.

4. 4

   Process on high to pulverize them to a fine meal consistency.

5. 5

   Add the remained 1/4 cup coconut and the dates and process to finely chop them, then add the almond butter, sesame seeds, and orange peel.

6. 6

   Add the orange juice and process until things come together to form a homogeneous mass.

7. 7

   Add a bit more orange juice, if needed, to get the right thickness and well blended consistency.

8. 8

   Don't add too much juice; you want the mixture to be fairly dry, not moist and mushy.

9. 9

   Use your hands to form the mixture into balls about 1 1/2-inch in diameter, then roll the balls in the reserved shredded coconut.

10. 10
