Ingredients
- 1 cup (140 g) Mixed roasted nuts and seeds (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts, and seeds)
- 1 cup (150 g) Medjool dates pitted
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- ¼ cup (60 g) Almond butter for stuffing
Plus
- ½ cup (40 g) Desiccated coconut or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Roast (optional): Start by roasting the mixed nuts if they still need to be roasted. You can spread them on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until they become fragrant and slightly browned. Let them cool completely.
- Coarse: Once the nuts are cooled, place them in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture remaining.1 cup Mixed roasted nuts and seeds
- Paste: Add the pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if desired) to the food processor. Process until you have an almost smooth paste.1 cup Medjool dates, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, A pinch of salt
- Combine the nuts mixture with the dates mixture until the mixture comes together and forms a sticky dough.
- Shape: Take a small portion of the mixture and flatten it on the palm of your hand. Place a dollop of almond butter in the center, then wrap the mixture around it to encase the filling completely. Roll it into a ball shape. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.¼ cup Almond butter
- Coat: If desired, coat the stuffed balls in unsweetened shredded coconut. This step is optional but adds extra flavor and texture.½ cup Desiccated coconut
- Set: Place the stuffed date and nut balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store: Once firm, transfer the almond butter stuffed date and nut balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to two weeks but are usually best when eaten within the first few days.
