Ingredients

For 2 servings

pitted Medjool dates 112g (4.0 oz)

raw pecan halves 100g (3.5 oz)

pure maple syrup 12g (0.4 oz)

chia seeds 10g (0.4 oz)

vanilla extract 0.5 tsp

ground cinnamon 0.1 tsp

fine sea salt 0.1 tsp

Instructions

Prep

Soak 112g pitted Medjool dates in warm water 10 minutes, drain well. Pulse 80g raw pecans in a food processor 8–10 times until coarsely chopped with texture. Add drained dates, 12g maple syrup, 10g chia seeds, 0.5 tsp vanilla, 0.1 tsp cinnamon, 0.1 tsp sea salt; blend until thick, sticky dough forms. Scrape sides, pulse 15 seconds to fully incorporate.

Build

Scoop dough into 6 portions of roughly 35g each, roll between palms pressing firmly until they hold shape without crumbling. Firm bites should feel dense and cohesive.

Finish

Roll each bite in 20g finely chopped raw pecans to coat the outside evenly. Spread on a lined tray and refrigerate at least 30 minutes until fully firm to touch.

Plate

Portion into 2 airtight containers, 3 bites per container. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 60 days. Serve with sliced apple or fresh blueberries alongside for freshness.
