These taste so good it is hard to believe they are healthy. I have been trying to change up my diet and found this recipe in 500 Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes. I stayed pretty true to the recipe except I switched Medjool Dates for regular dates. It was very easy to do with my Ninja Food Processor. It would have been frustrating with a blender or hand mixer. Thank you to my husband for gifting this to me!
150 grams Pecans ( or your desired nut)
400 grams pitted dates
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp unsalted peanut butter
400 grams pitted dates
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp unsalted peanut butter
2 tbsp cocoa powder
pinch salt
1 tbsp water
* Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until crushed - do not overwork or the pecans will form a butter.
* Add the dates, coconut oil and water and continue to pulse to mix. Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder and salt, then pulse again.
* Take 1 tbsp of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place on a sheet of parchment paper set on a small tray or plate. Repeat until all the mixture has been used.
* Place the rolled balls into the fridge for around 1 hour, then remove from the paper and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
