Ingredients
Pumpkin version
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup softened dates, (see note)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp vanilla
Chocolate version
- all the ingredients above
- 1/4 cup cacao powder, (see note)
- 1-2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Add pecans/walnuts to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add in remaining ingredients and pulse until a thick paste forms and everything is evenly mixed.
- Scoop out 1 1/2 tbsp of mixture and form into ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up before eating. Store uneaten balls in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- To soften dates, soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes and then drain.
- I buy my cacao powder* on Amazon.
