🥣 Ingredients

Filling:

  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup Medjool dates (pitted)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

🍳 How to Make Vegan Chocolate Pecan Bites

1️⃣ Blend the Base

Add pecans and oats to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.

2️⃣ Add Dates & Flavor

Add dates, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla, and salt. Blend until mixture sticks together.

3️⃣ Form Balls

Roll into 1–1½ inch balls and place on parchment-lined tray. Chill 20–30 minutes.

4️⃣ Melt Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave (20-second intervals).

5️⃣ Dip & Set

Dip each ball into melted chocolate, place back on tray, and top with a pecan half if desired. Chill until chocolate hardens.

✨ Tips for Perfect Texture

  • Soak dates in warm water if they’re dry
  • Freeze balls before dipping for easier coating
  • Add chia seeds for extra fiber
  • Use dark chocolate for richer flavor

🧊 Storage

  • Refrigerate up to 1 week
