Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups medjool dates
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup pistachios (shelled, unsalted)
- 0.5 cup dried apricots
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Pit the medjool dates if they are not already pitted. Place the dates, raw almonds, shredded coconut, pistachios, and dried apricots in a food processor.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor for 30 seconds, or until the ingredients begin to break down into smaller pieces.
Add the orange zest, ground cinnamon, sea salt, vanilla extract, and water to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until it comes together into a sticky dough-like consistency. If the mixture seems too dry, add an additional tablespoon of water and blend again.
Using clean hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have about 16 energy balls.
Optional: Roll each orb in additional shredded coconut or finely chopped pistachios for added texture and visual appeal.
Place the Oasis Orbs in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before enjoying. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
