Servings: 14 balls
Calories: 109kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup medjool dates (about 12)
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon cashew butter
- Juice & zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Add dates and cashews nuts to the bowl of a food processor. Process on high until finely ground. Add remaining ingredients (minus water) and blend until combined. Pulse in the poppy seeds.
- If a dough forms, then don't add water. If it still seems a little dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, processing completely between each addition, until a dough begins to form.
- Shape the dough into balls, about the size of golf balls, and place in the fridge/freezer to firm up.
- I like to store mine in the fridge/freezer to maximize shelf life!
