Servings: 15
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups dried cherries
- 1/3 cup shelled salted pistachios
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Additional cocoa powder optional, for coating
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 20 times, then process for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is crumbly but can be pressed to form a cohesive ball.
- With wet hands (to prevent the mixture from sticking to them), squeeze about 1 tablespoon of the mixture tightly between your hands and roll into a ball.
- Optional: Roll balls in loose cocoa powder to coat.
- Place energy balls in a covered container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
