In the bowl of a food processor combine dates, tahini, oat flour, and 1 tbsp of water. Process until smooth and sticky. You may need to add a bit more water if the mixture is too dense. Place mixture into fridge while you melt your chocolate.
Melt chocolate chips either over a double boiler (if you don't have a double boiler pot, place a metal bowl inside a small pot, place 2-3 inches of water in the pot and bring to a boil. Carefully whisk chocolate chips in a metal bowl until melted being careful not to splash water into the chocolate), or melt in the microwave. Stir in coconut oil until chocolate is shiny.
Roll date tahini mixutre into 1 inch balls and dip each ball into the chocolate, roll around until completely covered and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Continue until all of the date-tahini mixture is rolled into balls and dipped in chocolate. Finish by drizzling any extra chocolate over the truffles and sprinkling with flaky sea salt.
Place in the freezer to set for 1 hour.
You can store the date tahini truffles in your fridge or freezer. I prefer keeping them in the freezer.

Trouble Shooting Tips!

Tahini texture varies greatly from brand to brand. The tahini I use is very runny, if your tahini is thicker you may need to add a bit more water.
Dates also vary greatly in how soft they are, and if your dates are super soft and your mixture is too "runny" add an additional 1-2 tbsp of oat flour until you reach a thicker texture that holds together well.
