Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup whole oats certified gluten-free if needed
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 bag pitted Mariani Probiotic Pitted Prunes roughly chopped
- 1 cup Deglet dates pitted and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries finely chopped
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips certified vegan if needed
Instructions
- Add almonds, oats and cocoa powder to the bowl of a food processor, process 10-20 seconds or until a course flour forms.
- Add vanilla, Mariani Probiotic Prunes, pitted dates, and dried cranberries, then process another 20 seconds or until a sticky dough forms.
- UPDATE: You'll notice that the photos show the dried cranberries being stirred in, since the writing the original recipe, I've found I prefer to add the cranberries to the food processor with the prunes and dates for an overall better texture. THEN, remove the blade and add mini chocolate chips, stir with spatula or wooden spoon. You can also use your hands to help mix the chocolate chips if needed.
- Roll the dough into 30 small balls {about 1" each} and place in the refrigerator 15-20 minutes to harden. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.
