Easy to make, chocolate-y, and nutritious, these chocolate walnut energy balls are the perfect mid day pick me up, healthy, and packed with nutrients!
Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup Medjool dates soft and soaked
- 1 Cup Walnuts
- 2.5 Tablespoons Cacao Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
- Pinch Nutmeg
Instructions
- Soak your dates in hot water for about 5-10 minutes or one hour in room temp water if you want your energy balls to be fully free from heat.
- Secondly, combine all the ingredients (the walnuts, soft dates, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cacao powder) into a blender or food processor and pulse until evenly combined. Scrape the sides if needed in between pulsing intervals.Friendly Note; A blender is not the best equipment to use for this recipe. Food processor is much preferred as it does a better job at mixing and incorporating the ingredients. If you have to use a blender, be patient and scrape the sides. Try not to add water because this can change the texture and taste of the energy balls.
- Roll the mixture into your preferred size balls, store in the fridge, and enjoy!
