Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 1/4 cup quick oats
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
• 1/2 cup chopped dates
• 1/4 cup coconut
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• a pinch (about 1/16 teaspoon) salt

Directions

• Place 1 cup walnuts in a mini food processor. Process, scraping sides occasionally, until the walnut butter is the consistency of natural peanut butter (about 2 minutes, depending on your processor). You should end up with approximately a scant ½ cup of walnut butter. Place walnut butter in a medium bowl and add all other ingredients (oats, flaxseed meal, dates, coconut, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, honey, vanilla, and salt). Stir very thoroughly to combine. Using your hands, press firmly to form one-inch balls. Place in air-tight container and refrigerate until serving.
