As I mentioned in my previous post, it’s quite a challenge to incorporate sweets into my diet these days (especially easily acquired sweets!). This is probably a good thing, but it didn’t stop me from figuring out a loop hole! I really will be a great lawyer, won’t I? These sweet treats (which my non-Paleo boyfriend also enjoyed quite a bit) are a great way to satisfy that sugar craving while staying on track. Note: you will need a blender/magic bullet/food processor for this one.
Goodness Gracious Date Balls of Fire! *credit to Ruben
Ingredients:
5 Dates, pits removed
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
Walnuts, chopped (the ones I used were seasoned in Cinnamon and Misquite Pod. Mmm.)
1/4 tsp Vanilla
Instructions:
Chop the walnuts in the processor before adding anything else, then remove. Then, combine all ingredients in food processor, blend until smooth-ish. Role in to balls, and enjoy! If you’d like, you can coat them in the walnut powder that is likely left behind (pictured above). Feel free to experiment with different ingredients!
