Healthy Pecan & Date Bliss Balls (only 3 ingredients)
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup pitted Medjool dates
2 cups pecans (reserve extra crushed pecans for rolling)
1/4 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp coconut flour or pea protein powder (optional)
Instructions:
Soak Pecans:
Begin by soaking the pecans in hot water with a pinch of salt for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once soaked, rinse and drain the pecans well.
Blend Ingredients:
In a food processor, combine the soaked pecans, a pinch of salt, and the pitted dates. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth or desired texture. If the mixture feels too wet, you can add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut flour or protein powder to help bind the ingredients together.
Chill the Mixture:
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for a few hours. This will make it easier to shape the dough.
Shape the Energy Balls:
After chilling, roll the dough into small balls. For added crunch, you can roll each ball in crushed pecans.
Freeze and Serve:
Place the energy balls in the freezer until set. Once firm, you can enjoy them whenever you need a quick, healthy snack!
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Soak Time: 4+ hours | Servings: Approximately 15 energy balls
