Step 1
Pulse 1 cup pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped, about 10 seconds. Set aside 2 tbsp for rolling.
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.
Step 3
If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tbsp water and pulse again. It should hold together when pinched.
Step 4
Scoop out 1 tbsp portions and roll into balls with your hands, about 12 bites.
Step 5
Roll each ball in the reserved chopped pistachios to coat evenly.
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.
