Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the pecans are roughly chopped for easier blending, and the dates are pitted for a smooth mixture.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the pecans, dates, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and starts to clump together, forming a dough-like consistency.
  3. Form Balls: Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form small, round balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Chill: Place the pecan pie balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use soft, fresh dates like Medjool for the best texture and sweetness.
  • You can roll the balls in finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a light dusting of cinnamon for added texture and flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a vegan option, ensure your maple syrup is pure and unprocessed.
