- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 19 Balls 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Dried Figs, stems removed
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1/4 cup Cacao Powder (Or Cocoa, Carob)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
- 1/2 tbsp Cacao Nibs (or Vegan Chocolate Chips)
Instructions
- Trim the stems off of the dried figs, if there are any. Place them in a medium bowl, cover with hot water, and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, pulse the Almonds in a food processor until the form a coarse meal. Add in the Cacao Powder, Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, and Salt.
- Drain the Figs, then add to the food processor. Process all ingredients until a uniform, crumbly “dough” forms.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, then stir in the Cacao Nibs until evenly incorporated.
- Using a 1 tbsp measure, form the dough into even balls – mine made about 19. Note: it helps to have your hands slightly wet for this step so the mixture will not stick to them.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Almonds may be substituted with Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Cashews, or Hazelnuts.
