Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Place raw cashews in a food processor and blend until finely ground.
  2. Add pitted dates and blend until the mixture starts to clump together.

  4. If mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra sweetener.
  5. Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls.
  6. Place on a lined tray and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Notes

  • Do not over-process cashews to avoid turning them into butter.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.
  • Add cocoa powder or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Soften dates if needed by soaking in warm water.
