Author Recipe by Jessica Wang, RD

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds whole, raw
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 8 Medjool dates
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds raw
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add dates to hot water. Soak for 10 minutes. Drain and remove pits (if necessary).
  • In food processor, process almonds and rolled oats until a medium-fine meal forms. Remove and set aside.
  • Process pitted dates until smooth.
  • Add nut and oat mixture, nut butter, and salt. Process until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to bowl and stir in rest of ingredients: pumpkin seeds, raisins, coconut, and chocolate chips.
  • Dough may appear crumbly, but should stick together when pinched together. If dough is not sticky enough, add an extra tablespoon of nut butter.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of dough and form into a ball.
  • Enjoy immediately or store in fridge or freezer.

Notes

*This recipe is versatile! Try substituting for any nut or seed butter or type of date you like!
