Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups (187g) pecans or nut of choice
- ½ cup (35g) shredded coconut
- ¼ cup (60g) coconut butter, I used homemade toasted coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons (32g) pecan butter, or nut butter of choice
- 2 tablespoons (28g) chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons (20g) flax meal
- 2 tablespoons (28g) hemp seeds
- 1 date, optional – skip to keep keto
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean ghee OR coconut oil, use coconut oil to keep vegan
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder, or vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- 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 (I use this one) 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 zip-top bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
