Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup Rolled Oats
- 3/4 Cup Roasted Pistachios
- 1/4 Cup Roasted Almonds
- 1 tbsp Matcha
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 12-15 Medjool Dates pitted
- Pinch Salt
- 1 tsp Hot Water if needed
Instructions
- Add oats, pistachios, almonds, matcha and salt to a blender and pulse to break down into a coarse texture.
- Next add dates and vanilla extract and pulse until a sticky dough starts to form. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender to help it along.
- Roll into bite sized balls and store in the fridge.
Notes
- If your blender is struggling with the sticky dough, try soaking the dates in warm water for 10-15 minutes before adding them.
- Work in smaller batches or pulse gradually to avoid overheating the motor of your blender.
- If your dough feels too sticky, try adding a spoonful of oats or almond flour to absorb extra moisture.
- For dry mixtures that won’t bind, soften the dates in warm water, or add a drizzle of plant milk to help things along.
- Make sure your nut butter is well-stirred to avoid oily or clumpy results - smooth consistency will yield the best dough. A touch of almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower butter, or cashew butter can elevate the flavour and help everything come together.
- Add a handful of shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or chia seeds for extra texture.
