Maple, Date and Walnut Bites

By Chef Dee Johnston on March 23, 2020

Maple, Date and Walnut Bites

 

Makes 16 Balls

Healthy snack without cooking!  Have the kids help make these easy-to-make sweet treats.

What you’ll need

2 ¼ cups Walnuts, divided

1 cup old-fashioned oats

½ cups Medjool dates, pitted (about 7 dates)

3 Tablespoons maple syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla

¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  1. Add 2 cups walnuts, oats, dates, maple syrup, vanilla and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth and the dough forms together into cohesive balls, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Finely dice the remaining ¼ cup walnuts and put on a flat surface, such as a plate.
  3. Form the dough into 16 balls and roll each ball in the diced walnuts to coat.
  4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a week (if they last that long!) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
