4 Ingredient Chocolate Cashew Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates- pits removed
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Place dates in food processor along with cashews and pulse until crumbly.
- Add coconut oil & pulse again.
- Pour in cocoa powder and pulse until everything thoroughly combined. It should be slightly sticky and easily be formed into a ball.
- Using a cookie scoop, spoon out equal portions and then roll into balls in your hand.
- Store in airtight container in fridge for up to a week.
Can I use dried prunes instead of dates? Dates around here are wicked expensive.
Hi BJ, I haven’t tried using prunes in this recipe so I’m not exactly sure how it would affect the overall flavor. But texture wise prunes are pretty similar so I’d say it would be worth trying. Let me know how it works out for you. 🙂
