• In a food processor, using the S blade attachment, add the quick oats and unsweetened desiccated coconut, and blend on the high-speed setting until pulsed into a fine flour/meal.
• Add in coconut nectar, coconut milk, coconut water, and coconut extract if used.
• Blend again on the high-speed setting until it forms a sticky dough that comes together.
• If the dough is too wet, add more coconut, 2 tablespoons at a time, blend on the high-speed setting after adding. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, blend and repeat if needed.
• Scoop out one tablespoon of batter, roll into balls between your hands, then roll into the desiccated coconut to coat.
• Place the balls on a plate covered with parchment while you roll the remaining batter into energy balls.
