Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 ounces dried pitted dates (the moister the better)
- 1/3 cup shelled hemp seeds
- 1/3 cup shelled salted roasted pistachios
- 1/3 cup natural creamy almond or cashew butter, no sugar or salt added
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon organic peppermint flavor (non-alcoholic)
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor on low speed until well combined, but mixture still has some texture.*
- Extra-firmly squeeze and roll mixture by hand into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoons (32 grams) mixture each. Then flatten into patties.
- Ideally stash in the fridge for 1 week or freezer for 2 months. These are also awesome as on-the-go snacks — no refrigeration required for up to 1 day.
Notes
*Note: If necessary, add vanilla unsweetened plant-based milk by the teaspoon to achieve desired rollable consistency. However, if the dates you use are moist, there should be no need to add any plant-based milk!
