Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Dessert, Lunch, Snack
Cuisine: Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian
Servings: 25 Energy balls

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 8 large medjool dates pitted
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup goji berries sun dried
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon ground
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom ground
  • 1/4 cup raw almond butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao powder

Instructions

  • Use the "S" blade for processing and finely grind the almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds in a food processor.
  • Add the dates, raisins, goji berries and spices to the food processor and process all the ingredients to a fine meal. If you love chocolate then add 2 tablespoons of cacao powder in this step but these energy balls taste great with or without chocolate.
  • Add the almond butter and process again until thoroughly mixed.
  • Form into balls and roll in the shredded coconut.
  • Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to two week or freeze half and use later.

Notes

This recipe makes 12 large energy balls but I prefer to make them smaller and make 25 to 30 balls.  They are very rich and filling so by making them smaller you can eat 2 or 3 and not too feel guilty.  Enjoy !
