Pecan Pie Energy Balls
(makes about 24)
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
pinch fine sea salt
1/2 cup chopped Medjool dates
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or extract)
1/4 cup vanilla almond butter (Justin's recommended)
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 tablespoons date syrup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
In a dry skillet, toast the pecan halves, stirring often, for several minutes until fragrant and toasted. Let cool.
Place pecans, sunflower seeds, and salt in a food processor. Blitz until the nuts and seeds are finely chopped. Add the dates and vanilla. Process until the dates are chopped and mixed throughout.
Add the almond butter, oats, date syrup, olive oil, and chia seeds. Pulse until the mixture comes together. Test to see if it can easily be pressed into a ball.
Use a small scoop or a spoon to portion and roll into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate. Store in the refrigerator.
