Ingredients

• 1 cup dates, pitted
• 1 cup cashew pieces
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon cashew butter
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 - 2 tablespoons water (only if needed)
• 1 cup quinoa puffs

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a food processor combine the dates and cashews. Process until they resemble a coarse sand.

Add oil, nut butter, syrup (if using) and cinnamon, and process until a dough forms. If the dough does not come together, add some water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together when you press it between your fingers.

Form 1" balls with your hands and place on a parchment lined plate. Freeze for at least 60 minutes and then enjoy.
