Prep Time: 5 minutes  Cook Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 14 servings  Serving Size: 1 ball

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt

Directions:

  1. Add the almonds to a food processor and pulse until it forms a coarse meal. Then add the pitted dates and almond butter and pulse a few times.
  2. Then add the vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and process until everything is well combined.
  3. Break up any large chunks of dates with a spatula and pulse until they are broken up. Add a bit more nut butter if the mixture seems a bit dry.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out equal portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Will make approximately 14 balls.

Tips and Tricks:

  • If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes, then drain well before adding them to the food processor. This helps them blend more smoothly.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to roll into balls, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
