Description

Bursting with the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, these Cranberry Pecan Bliss Balls are not just delicious — they’re a wholesome treat you can enjoy any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 Medjool dates, pitted
  • ½ cup rolled oats *
  • ½ cup pecans
  • 2/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 Tablespoons almond butter *
  • 1 teaspoon natural peanut butter *
  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ to ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt *

Instructions

  1. Place all the Ingredients into a food processor and process until the mixture comes together by testing the mixture.
  2. Test the “dough mixture” by pinching it to see if it holds together easily. If too dry, add an additional ½ to 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Continue until the dough holds together nicely. If too wet, add an additional tablespoon of rolled oats.
  3. When the “dough” holds it shape easily, scoop up 1 tablespoon (or a small cookie scoop) of the mixture, roll into a firm ball and set on a parchment paper lined plate. Repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
  4. Place the plate in the freezer for 20 minutes or until very firm.
  5. Once firm, move to an air-tight container, then store them in the refrigerator. They also freeze well.
