Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) almonds
  • 8 small (100g) dates, pitted
  • 1/2 – 1 Tablespoon hot water, adjust as needed

Instructions

  1. Add the almonds to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Transfer to a separate bowl and set aside.
  2. In the same blender, add the pitted dates and mix until smooth, scraping sides if necessary and adding a little bit of hot water.
  3. Add the almonds back, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, coconut and sunflower seeds if using, and pulse 3-5 more times, until all ingredients are incorporated. Add a little bit more water if needed.
  4. Shape into balls using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon and refrigerate for one hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator in an air tight container and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
