TAHINI DATE ENERGY BITES
Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Vegan, Kosher, Halal
Makes 12
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pitted Medjool dates (12-14)
- 1/3 cup raw cashews
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- Coating options: ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut or 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds or ¼ cup beetroot power or ¼ cup matcha powder
Directions
Line a large plate with parchment or wax paper; set aside. Place the dates, cashews, pumpkin seeds, salt, and cardamom in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process until the dates and nuts are broken down and clump together (about 1 minute). Add the tahini and process until incorporated, about 20 seconds. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, measure 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Roll between the palms of your hands to form a ball, then place this on the plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Pour your preferred coating options in a shallow bowl. One by one, roll the energy balls in each topping until fully coated. Return to the plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight before serving.
