Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (or a combination of both)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- pinch fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup pitted prunes
- 1/4 cup pitted dates (see notes)
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the oats, nuts, cocoa powder an salt until a coarse powder forms.
- Add the prunes and dates and blend until a dough comes together, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as necessary. It will seem like a dough will never form, but keep blending. If it really will not come together, add another 1-2 prunes, or bit of water (one tablespoon at a time).
- Scoop the dough by the tablespoon and roll into balls using wet hands to prevent sticking.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 5-10 minutes then drain before using them.
- I used half dates to get more brownie-like caramel notes. You can replace them with more prunes if you'd like. The flavor will be slightly more tart but still delicious!
