Date and Almond Balls

Servings 14 balls
Author Brandon Matzek

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 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.
