Chocolate Banana Nut Energy Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dried dates
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 cup walnut or pecan halves, plus 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts for outer coating
  • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor or high power blender. Blend until everything is chopped and it starts to form a ball. If it doesn’t form a ball, add some water – about 1 teaspoon at a time- until it does.
  2. Place the extra 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts in a small bowl.
  3. Take the mixture out 1 heaping Tablespoon at a time, roll it into a ball with your hands. Roll the ball in the chopped nuts and set on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or in a container for storing. Continue until the mixture is all used. The texture is pretty soft, so I recommend putting in the fridge to help them set-up a bit.
  4. Keep stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
