Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pulse 1 cup pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped, about 10 seconds. Set aside 2 tbsp for rolling.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 cup pitted dates, 0.5 cup oats, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp vanilla, and 0.25 tsp salt to the processor. Blend until a sticky dough forms, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

    Scoop out 1 tbsp portions and roll into balls with your hands, about 12 bites.

  5. Step 5

    Roll each ball in the reserved chopped pistachios to coat evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Refrigerate the bites for 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
