Makes 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw ground almonds/almond meal
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• scant 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 1/4 cup pitted dates (about 6 medium), roughly chopped
• 1 to 2 tsp unsweetened almond or hemp milk
• 1 tbsp raw shelled hemp seeds (hemp hearts)

Preparation

1. In a food processor, pulse almond meal, spices and salt until evenly mixed.
2. Add molasses and dates, and process until combined.
3. Transfer dough into a small bowl and add almond milk as needed, one teaspoon at a time, as you use the back of a spoon to press the mixture together.
4. When the dough clumps and comes away from the sides of the bowl, pinch off small pieces and roll into 1-inch balls.
5. Coat some, or all, of your dough balls in raw hemp seeds.
