Ingredients
Method
- Line a baking pan with wax paper and set it aside as a surface for the rolled bites; no baking is needed.
- Process the dates, pecans, and cashews together in a food processor fitted with an S-blade until finely and evenly chopped.
- Add the cocoa powder, salt, almond butter, almond milk, and vanilla in that order. Process until the mixture begins to clump together.
- Shape the mixture into balls using 1 Tablespoon of dough for each, and arrange them on the prepared baking pan.
- Transfer the balls to an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze until chilled and firm.
- Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Pecans and Cashews: Other nuts may be substituted, keeping the total at 1 cup. Softer varieties such as pecans, cashews, and walnuts produce a more brownie-like texture than almonds.
Almond Butter: Other nut butters work well, particularly cashew butter.
Almond Milk: Another non-dairy milk may be used instead.
Sea Salt: Reduce or omit the salt if using salted nuts.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Serving: These energy bites are especially enjoyable cold and can be eaten directly from the freezer or allowed to thaw slightly.
