Ingredients

For The Bliss Balls

1 cup quick-cook oats
1 cup pitted, chopped dates
⅔ cup slivered almonds
¼ cup chia seeds
6 tablespoons shredded coconut flakes divided
½ cup milk
¼ cup nut or seed butter
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons cannabis cooking oil
1 teaspoon almond extract

Optional Chocolate Drizzle

2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
¼ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

For The Bliss Balls

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add 2 tablespoons of the shredded coconut to a small bowl and set it aside for rolling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped dates, slivered almonds, chia seeds, and the remaining coconut flakes. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the milk, nut or seed butter, maple syrup, cannabis oil, and almond extract.
Mix with a spatula or clean hands until the mixture is fully combined and holds together when pressed.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Coat each ball in the reserved coconut flakes, then place it on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.

Optional Chocolate Drizzle

Place the dark chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 60 seconds. Stir, add the coconut oil, and microwave for another 30 seconds.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate into the corner of a zip-top bag. Snip a tiny piece from the corner and drizzle the chocolate over the bliss balls. Let the chocolate set before storing.

Notes

Dosing Instructions: If your cannabis cooking oil provides 75mg of THC for the full batch and you make 24 bliss balls, each bite contains about 3.125mg THC. To calculate your own serving size, divide the total milligrams in the recipe by the number of bites you make.

Storage Instructions: Store these bliss balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to seven days or in the refrigerator for up to 14 days.

Nutritional Boost: For extra protein, add two tablespoons of unflavored collagen protein powder.

What You’ll Need

1 cup quick-cook oats: Quick oats create a softer texture than traditional rolled oats.
1 cup pitted, chopped dates: Dates add natural sweetness and help hold the mixture together.
⅔ cup slivered almonds: Slivered almonds add crunch and a classic almond flavor.
¼ cup chia seeds: Chia seeds add texture and help make the bites more filling.
6 tablespoons coconut flakes: Use unsweetened shredded coconut, divided between the mixture and the coating.
½ cup milk: Use any milk you prefer.
¼ cup nut or seed butter: Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, or seed butter can all work.
¼ cup maple syrup: Maple syrup adds sweetness and helps the mixture bind.
2 tablespoons cannabis oil: Use a cannabis cooking oil with a dose you understand and feel comfortable with.
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips: Optional, but delicious for a simple chocolate drizzle.

Perfect Dosing

This recipe uses two tablespoons of cannabis oil. The exact strength of each bliss ball depends entirely on the potency of the oil you use and the number of balls you make.

For example, if two tablespoons of your cannabis oil contain 75mg of THC and you make 24 bliss balls, divide 75 by 24. This gives you approximately 3.125mg of THC per bliss ball.

If your oil is stronger or weaker, your final dose will be different. Always calculate the total milligrams in your batch before serving, and label stored edibles clearly. If you are new to cannabis edibles, begin with a low dose and wait several hours before deciding whether to take more.

These coconut almond cannabis bliss balls are rich enough to enjoy as dessert but practical enough to keep on hand as a snack. Because they include oats, almonds, coconut, dates, and chia seeds, they are more filling than many traditional sweets. Depending on your tolerance and the strength of your infusion, one or two bites may be enough.

Melt the chocolate chips with a small amount of coconut oil if you want a drizzle.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bliss balls and allow it to harden.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on how long you plan to keep them.

Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options

There is more than one way to infuse coconut almond bliss balls. Cannabis cooking oil is a simple choice because it blends easily with the other wet ingredients, but you can use another infusion if you already have one prepared.

Possible infusion options include cannabis coconut oil, cannabis olive oil, infused MCT oil, CBD oil, CBG oil, CBN oil, AVB oil, or melted cannabutter. If you use cannabutter, make sure it is softened or melted enough to mix evenly into the recipe.

No matter which option you choose, the most important step is knowing the potency of your infusion. Calculate the full batch strength, divide by the number of bites, and store the finished edibles safely away from children, pets, and anyone who should not consume them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a protein source?

Yes. The original recipe recommends two tablespoons of unflavored collagen protein powder for an added protein boost. If you already have a protein powder you enjoy, you may use it, but it can change the texture and flavor. Add a small amount at first and adjust the moisture if needed.

Are these treats low in sugar?

These bliss balls contain ¼ cup of added maple syrup and a small amount of optional chocolate drizzle. Much of their sweetness comes from dates. They are not sugar-free, but they are made with simple ingredients and can be enjoyed in small portions.

Will these treats give me the munchies?

Cannabis edibles may increase appetite for some people. The effect depends on your body, the dose, and the type of infusion used. Start low, go slow, and choose a serving size that fits your tolerance.

How should I store cannabis bliss balls?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to seven days or in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Label the container clearly so everyone knows they contain cannabis.
