Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 10-12 large Medjool dates, halved and pitted
- ½ cup raw pistachios
- ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds, plus extra for rolling, if desired
- 3-4 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add dates to the food processor container and blend until dates are chopped up, but still chunky. Add 3 Tbsp of the melted coconut oil and blend again to combine.
- Next, add the pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, vanilla, cardamom and sea salt.
- Blend again to combine, scraping down the sides with a spatula and re-blending as needed. If the mixture seems too dry or crumbly, add another 1 Tbsp of coconut oil and blend again.
- Taste mixture and adjust flavor, if desired. Roll into tablespoon-size balls (or whatever size you like) and roll in extra sesame seeds, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
