Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pecans (toasted for best flavor)

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or oat flour for GF)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of salt

2–3 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Add dates, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup. Process until the mixture holds when pressed.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands.
If desired, dip each ball into melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the top.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Notes

Roll in crushed pecans or coconut flakes for extra texture.

Add a splash of bourbon or rum extract for a festive twist.

Use sunflower seeds for a nut-free version.

Try different chocolates for coating depending on your taste and occasion.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
