***All of my recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free, blood sugar-friendly, and gut-supportive. We are all different so you may need to make adjustments based on your body’s unique needs.***

Ingredients:

• ½ cup raw almonds
• ¼ cup raw pecans
• 2 tablespoons raw coconut or palm sugar (optional, for flavor)
• 1-inch knob fresh ginger, roughly chopped
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of sea salt
• 12 dates, pitted
• Fine coconut flakes (optional, for rolling)

Instructions:

1. Place almonds, pecans, coconut sugar (if using), ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
2. Add pitted dates and process again until mixture sticks together like dough. Don’t over-process. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice if needed.
3. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop 1 tablespoon of mixture into your hand and roll into a ball. A mini ice cream scoop works great for this step.
4. Roll each ball in coconut flakes, if desired. Chill in the fridge on a wax-lined sheet for at least 1 hour.

Recipe Notes:

1. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender on low speed—just avoid over-blending the nuts.
2. You can swap coconut sugar for maple syrup, honey, or stevia depending on preference.
3. No coconut flakes? Use shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts instead.
4. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
5. A double batch fits well in most standard food processors.
