The Bites are not only delicious, they are vegan, paleo, gluten-free, raw, and sugar free. But they are sweet and satisfying! You may use a mixture of raw nuts, I used a combination of almonds and walnuts.
Ginger Nut Bites
2 cups raw nuts(almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews)
6 soft medjool dates, chopped
2 tablespoons unsulphered blackstrap molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
Pinch of ground nutmeg and ground cloves
Dash of sea salt(optional)
Shredded coconut for rolling
Begin by adding nuts to a food processor and pulse until nuts are ground into small pieces.
Once the nuts have been processed, add the rest of the ingredients, except for the coconut. Add 1/2 tablespoon of water if the mixture is too sticky and not forming a ball.
Once processed, scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form into a ball. Roll in coconut.
The recipe makes up approximately 18 balls.
You can find the original recipe HERE. Be sure to look around a bit once you visit her blog, as she has loads of great recipes.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThese sound wonderful. I love treats like this. I just have to get some dates and I am good to go. Have you tried the dessicated coconut? I get mine at the health food store. It has no sugar at all and has MUCH MORE flavor than the shredded coconut you can buy in the store.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bunny. I have tried the coconut and I love it.
DeleteI see this being incorporated in to my holiday baking. Looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY !
This looks great. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of a recipe my mom used to make. Hers had the dates and I don't remember what else. And you rolled them in balls and then in coconut. I'll be giving your recipe a try.
