Looking for a healthy, delicious treat that's quick and easy to make and can easily travel with you wherever you go? You've found it! Paleo No-Bake Date Nut Balls!!! Sweetened only with dates, and made with all "real food" ingredients, this is a truly guiltless snack/dessert! What a great way to get in some healthy fats!
In a food processor (I use a Cuisinart) place pitted dates, pecans, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.
Pulse/blend for 10-20 seconds until nuts grind into coarse meal. (*Do not over-blend into nut butter.)
Add flax seed meal, almond flour, coconut flakes, and pink Himalayan salt (and cinnamon, cacao, or banana, if using) and blend for about 20-30 seconds until well combined. *Mixture is ready when nuts and dates have turned into a coarse meal that holds its shape when pinched together. (See picture below.)
Remove from food processor and place into a bowl.
Roll into 10 equal sized balls.
Enjoy immediately! * These store incredibly well and can even be placed in the freezer and pulled out any time a snack is desired. No need to even defrost!!! 😃
