Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates about 10
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 2 tablespoons nut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 - 2 tablespoons water only if needed
- 1 cup quinoa crisps
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor combine the dates and pecans. Process until they resemble a coarse sand.
- Add nut butter, syrup, oil and cocoa powder and process until a dough forms. If the dough does not come together, add some water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together when you press it between your fingers.
- Pulse in the quinoa crisps and chocolate chips.
- Form 1" balls with your hands and place on a parchment lined plate. Freeze for at least 30 minutes and then enjoy.
- Keep in a covered container in the freezer for best results, but they will also keep in the fridge.
