Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor, pulse the 1 cup oats and 1/2 cup nuts until finely chopped, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 1/2 cup dried fruit, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup. Pulse until the mixture sticks together when pressed, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    If the mixture is too dry, add the 1 tbsp water and pulse again. It should hold together easily.

  4. Step 4

    Roll the mixture into 12 balls, about 1 inch each. If sticky, wet your hands slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
