Date and Almond Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup pitted dates
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Add almonds to a food processor, and pulse until they are the consistency of a coarse meal. Add pitted dates and almond butter. Pulse a few times, then add vanilla, cinnamon and 2 pinches of salt. Process until everything comes together. If you see any large chunks of date, break the mixture up with a spatula, and pulse until they are broken up. Add a bit more almond butter if the mixture seems dry.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out equal portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Store these bites in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
