Father's Day Raw Nut Butter Balls
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw almonds (soaked and roasted, if desired)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup coconut palm sugar
  • ½ cup pitted dates
  • ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • Dash of salt
  • Topping
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate (70% cacao)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Blend almonds until coarse.
  2. Then add all of the rest of the ingredients (except chocolate and oil, if you're making the topping) and blend for about 15-30 seconds. They should still be somewhat course, kind of like a thick flour.
  3. Then you'll just use your hands to form the balls together. If they are too dry and crumbling, feel free to add more nut butter. Ours did crumble a little when we ate them but it wasn't that bad. We ate them so fast, clearly, we didn't have time to let them crumble too much.
  4. For the Topping
  5. Melt in a pan on low the chocolate and coconut oil and then drizzle over with a spoon once melted.
