Servings: 24
Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter
- 10 medjool dates pitted
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cup creamy, all-natural peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon water* or more, as needed
- 2 tablespoons honey
For the Jelly
- 10 medjool dates pitted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dried blueberries
- 1 cup raw almonds or cashews we've used both!
- 1/4 teaspoon water* or more, as needed
- pinch of salt
Instructions
For the Peanut Butter Side
- Place peanuts in a high-speed food processor and process on high for about a minute or until the peanuts turn into a meal. Then, add in medjool dates, peanut butter, and honey. Mix for 1-2 minutes or until your dough is formed. If the dough is too dry at this point, add some water in 1/4 teaspoon increments. NOTE- add water in very small amounts, you don't need much! I used 1/4 teaspoon.
- Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the dough and roll it into balls. Repeat. You should get around 24 balls.
For the Jelly Side
- Place the nuts in a high-speed food processor and process for about a minute or until the nuts turn into a meal.
- Then, add in medjool dates, dried blueberries, and salt. Process on high for about 1-2 minutes or until your dough is formed. If things are too dry, add some water in 1/4 teaspoon increments. NOTE- add water in very small amounts, you don't need much! I used 1/4 teaspoon.
- Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the dough and roll it into balls. Repeat.
For the PB and J Swirl Energy Balls
- Press a peanut butter ball and a jelly ball together and roll between your palms to create a PB and J Swirl Ball.
Notes
- Storage: we recommend storing these energy balls in a gallon-size plastic bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw for a few minutes and enjoy.
