Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the 1 cup oats and 1/2 cup nuts until finely chopped, about 30 seconds.
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.
Step 3
If the mixture is too dry, add the 1 tbsp water and pulse again. It should hold together easily.
Step 4
Roll the mixture into 12 balls, about 1 inch each. If sticky, wet your hands slightly.
Step 5
Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
