| Servings: | 12 |
| Yield: | 12 2-inch balls |
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange a single layer of pecans on the prepared baking sheet. Top with rolled oats. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Pulse pecans, oats, dates, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a food processor until nuts are ground to desired consistency.
- Shape mixture into twelve 2-inch tightly-packed balls. Refrigerate before serving.
- You can make these “raw” by skipping toasting the pecans and oats.
- These will work with any dried fruit and nuts, but for drier, less sticky fruit, you might have to add a little water to get things to hold together.
Reviews
I made these for my medicinal edible needs. They taste really good and were really easy to make! This will be my main goto recipe for edibles!
To start these taste delicious. Recipe was easy to follow and really quick. Toasting the nuts and oatmeal made the flavor much better. This is now one of our favorite snacks in the house!
Quick. Easy. Delicious. Hit the trifecta.
