Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Measure out all ingredients carefully. Ensure the dates are pitted to avoid any pits in the bites.
  2. Blend the mixture: In a food processor, combine the pecans, dates, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pulse until the mixture becomes sticky and starts to clump together, forming a thick, dough-like consistency.
  3. Form the bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press them firmly so they hold their shape.
  4. Chill the bites: Place the formed bites on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, enjoy these pecan pie bites as a healthy snack or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

  • Soaking dates in warm water for 10 minutes can help achieve a smoother blend if your dates are dry.
  • For added texture, you can reserve a few chopped pecans to mix in after blending.
  • These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months; just thaw before eating.
  • Try rolling the bites in finely chopped pecans or shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
