Total Time10 mins
Ingredients
- ½ cup almonds I use unpeeled
- 1 cup dried apricots organic if possible
- 3 tbsp almond butter or any other nut butter
- ¼ scant cup sesame seeds + 3 tbsp
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tps ground ginger
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Put 1/4 cup of the sesame seeds in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add almonds, dried apricots, almond butter, 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds, spices, and vanilla in a food processor or high-speed blender and process until the ingredients are well-combined. The mixture may appear crumbly, but it will hold together when you form balls.
- Roll the mixture into small 1/2 inch balls or use an ice-cream spoon to do so, then roll the balls into the sesame seeds to coat.
- Store in the refrigerator or freeze*.
Notes
*Spread them out on a tray, freeze for 1 hour and then transfer to a freezer-friendly bag or container.
