Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups nuts (I used 1 cup of cashews & 1 cup of almonds)
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup dried blueberries
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or seeds of 1 vanilla bean)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add nuts to food processor. Process until nuts are pea-sized.
- Combine nuts with dates and dried blueberries and process until all ingredients have broken down and are a bit sticky – about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in vanilla extract, lemon zest + salt.
- Process until all ingredients have broken down and form into one sticky ball – you may need to scrape down sides every minute. This should take 3-5 minutes of processing.
- Roll into small balls and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for several months.
*NOTE: your mixture may feel a bit greasy while rolling it into balls – this is normal! It is just the natural oils being released from the nuts.
**I LOVE my Cuisinart 14 cup food processor!
