Step-by-step
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the ingredients.
- Pulse for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture starts to break down. It will first become powdery and will stick together, but still be crumbly.
- Keep processing until the oils start to release a bit and the mixture sticks together easily - just be careful not to over process or you’ll have nut butter.
- Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon scoop to divide the mixture into equal pieces.
- Use your hands to roll into balls and place on a plate or baking sheet and place in the fridge to firm up for about 30 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
