Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons chai spice blend (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (extra for rolling)
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 tablespoons water (if needed)
Instructions
- Place the pitted dates, cashews, rolled oats, chai spice blend, ground cinnamon, and salt into a food processor.
- Process the ingredients until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides.
- If the mixture is too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll the finished balls in extra ground cinnamon, if desired.
- Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- This recipe balances the deep, comforting flavors (Spoon) with fresh, easy preparation (Sprout).
- If you don’t have a pre-made chai spice blend, mix your own using equal parts cinnamon and cardamom, with less ginger and cloves.
- These balls freeze well for longer storage.
