Step 1: Grinding process

Begin by grinding your almonds into meal with a food processor, Magic Bullet, or the like. Then combine the almond meal with the rest of the ingredients (except a small amount of cinnamon and sugar for dusting) and put them in your food processor.

Step 2: Blending

Blend them until everything is completely combined and ground up. It should be moist enough so that it holds together when you press it between your hands. If it’s too dry, add a very small amount of water and blend again.

Step 3: Roll them

Step 3: Sugar on top

After forming each ball, roll it around in a mix of cinnamon and sugar. Set it aside on a plate. This recipe should make 12-15 bites, depending on how large you make them.

Conclusion

And that’s it! I told you it was easy. Store them in an airtight container in the pantry for up to a week (but I doubt they’ll last that long!). These are naturally dairy-free, and you can even make these gluten-free if you use oats that do not contain gluten. Yum!
