Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup Medjool dates pitted
  • 1 cup figs dried
  • 2 cups cashew nuts raw
  • 1 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 Tbsp hemp seed
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 pinch salt sea salt

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients for the fig and date balls to a food processor. Process until a sticky dough forms. If needed, stop the food processor to scrape the sides to help it thoroughly process the mixture.
  2. If the mixture is very sticky, refrigerate it for 2 hours before rolling the dough into balls. If you don't mind getting your hands sticky, you can roll the balls right away!
  3. Roll dough into desired-sized balls, and enjoy!
  4. Balls should be stored in a sealable bag or container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

  • *Depending on the consistency of the energy ball dough, you may need to add more cashews (or oats!). If the mixture is too sticky to form a solid ball, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of additional cashews. Or, you can add 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup of oats.
  • Keep in mind, the moisture content and stickiness of dates and dried figs can vary greatly, which can cause the consistency of the mixture to vary.
  • If the mixture is dry, add a small amount of water or non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time until it is no longer crumbly and sticks together well.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add dry ingredients (nuts, seeds, or oats) until balls press together easily.
