Yields 10-12 balls | vegan/gluten-free optional

Ingredients:

• 18 pitted dates
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats for GF)
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice*

note
* Add more pumpkin spice, or a dash of pumpkin butter if you prefer the flavor a bit more bold. 

Directions:

1. Place the dates in a food processor with the “s” blade and mix until they’re in small pieces.
2. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix until only fine pieces remain. If a bit of batter sticks between your fingers and feels “doughy,” you’re in a good place.
3. If it’s not sticking together, add a few more dates and pulse.
4. Next, scoop out 1 Tablespoon measurements and carefully form into balls.
5. Placing one hand in a plastic bag while forming the balls will make the process a lot easier and less messy.
