Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including pecans, dates, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to ensure smooth blending.
  2. Blend Mixture: In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine pecans and dates first to create a coarse crumb, then add maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky dough.
  3. Form Bites: Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Chill: Place the pecan pie bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use soft, fresh dates for best blending and natural sweetness.
  • To add extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each bite before chilling.
  • Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can add a tablespoon of shredded coconut or cinnamon to the blend for variation.
