Prep Time15 mins
Total Time15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 pitted dates (soaked for 20 min in warm water)
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened almond butter
  • 1 & ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ Tbsp pumpkin spice seasoning
  • ¼ cup pumpkin purée
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • ½ cup blanched almond meal/flour

Instructions

  • Finely chop pecans.
  • Add dates, pecans, almond butter, pumpkin spice seasoning, pumpkin purée, almond milk, and 1 cup of coconut flakes to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend/process on high until a smooth paste-like consistency is formed (at least 3 minutes), pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary.
  • Scoop blended mixture into a large mixing bowl and add almond meal. Stir well to combine.
  • Scoop mix using a tablespoon and creating a heaping tablespoon. Roll mix into small balls. You will form 12-16 balls. I find that doing this with wet hands works best.
  • Roll bliss balls in remaining ¼ cup of coconut flakes and/or dust with additional pumpkin spice seasoning (optional).
  • Store balls in freezer until ready to eat. Remove balls from freezer and allow to thaw for 5-10 minutes before enjoying. I find that freezing in a single layer on a plate, then transferring to a tupperware or plastic bag for long term storage prevents sticking. Happy autumnal snacking!
