Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Dried figs
- 0.5 cups Pistachios (shelled, unsalted)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
1. Prepare and measure all your ingredients to ensure a smooth process.
2. Remove the tough stems from the dried figs and chop them roughly.
3. In a food processor, combine the dried figs, pistachios, and rolled oats. Pulse repeatedly until the mixture begins to resemble coarse crumbs.
4. Add the honey, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Process again until the mixture starts to come together and is sticky yet moldable. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the texture is right.
5. Scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands.
6. For an optional finishing touch, spread the unsweetened shredded coconut on a plate and roll the figgy pistachio balls in it to coat them lightly.
7. Place the snack balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
8. Store the Figgy Pistachio Snacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy them as a quick, nutritious snack!
