Ingredients

Scale

Nuts

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 cup almonds

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup dried blueberries
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or seeds of 1 vanilla bean
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Process Nuts: Add cashews and almonds to a food processor and pulse until the nuts are broken down into pea-sized pieces, giving the mixture a bit of texture.
  2. Add Dates and Blueberries: Combine the processed nuts with pitted medjool dates and dried blueberries. Process the mixture for 1-2 minutes until the ingredients start to break down and become slightly sticky.
  3. Add Flavorings: Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sea salt to the food processor. These ingredients will provide the signature blueberry muffin flavor to your energy balls.
  4. Form the Dough: Continue processing the mixture for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Process until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a sticky dough that clumps together.
  5. Shape and Store: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for several months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use soft medjool dates for best texture; if dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing.
  • Feel free to swap nuts for your favorites like walnuts or pecans.
  • For extra texture, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
  • Store energy balls in the fridge to maintain freshness, or freeze for longer shelf life.
  • These energy balls are naturally sweetened; no added sugar needed.
