A gluten-free and vegan snack option. Perfect for on-the-go snacking! I suggest doubling the recipe.
Prep Time:10
Total Time:10
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
1/4 cup nut butter (I used Nuttzo peanut-free)
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup dried unsweetened coconut
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
zest of one orange
Orange juice to moisten as needed
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine the nuts and apricots. Pulse to chop well.
2. Add in the remaining ingredients and pulse until a dough forms. Add more orange juice to moisture the mixture as needed.
3. Using a melon ball scooper or tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll each ball with your hands until smooth.
4. Store covered in the fridge.
Notes
If doubling the recipe, you may have to transfer the mixture to a separate bowl after pulsing to chop. Use a large spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything together.
Feel free to substitute any nuts or dried fruit you enjoy! I recommend keeping the apricots -or using medjool dates instead of the apricots if you need to substitute- to keep the texture intact.
